Mark Andrews Was Stretchered Out Of An NXT Live Event In The U.K.


It was quite the eventful weekend for WWE’s Mark Andrews. First, his band’s set at the U.K. Download Festival on Saturday was interrupted when WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne appeared to attack him in advance of their match. Unfortunately, Mandrews (short for “This Man, Andrews,” probably) came up short in his attempt to capture the gold, but then things got worse for him on Sunday.

During an eight-man tag team match at that same Download Festival, Andrews was hit with a clothesline from one of the Authors of Pain, and it was immediately clear something was wrong. He was quickly put on a stretcher, loaded onto an ambulance, and taken to a nearby hospital.

By all accounts, everyone involved was seriously concerned with Andrews’ well-being.

Shortly afterward, Andrews assured everyone that he was okay.

WWE.com also released a statement, saying that CT scans revealed no serious injuries.

Andrews was quickly evaluated by WWE medical personnel. A statement passed along to WWE.com read, “A CT scan of Andrews came back negative, with just bruising evident. Mark would like to thank all his fans for their concern.”

We’re very glad that Andrews was able to avoid significant injury, and hope that he’ll be back to work trying to wrest that title from the dastardly Dunne in short order.
