The injury took place when The Authors of Pain powerbombed one of the opponents (Johnny Vandal) onto the other, who was confirmed to be WrestlePro (NJ) talent Anthony Bowens.

Bowens posted the following on his Twitter account, noting his injuries will force him to miss in-ring time:

Pro Wrestling Sheet first reported Bowens suffered a concussion due to the spot, and it was clearly evident that there was a head injury upon examination by WWE doctors. Bowens will reportedly remain in Florida for a short time while WWE doctors can monitor his progress.
