WWE Star JD McDonagh to Miss Several Months Due to Injuries
WWE star JD McDonagh has revealed that he will be out for a few months recovering from injuries sustained in a recent tag-team match on “Monday Night Raw.” McDonagh and Dominik Mysterio teamed up against the War Raiders, Erick and Ivar, in a bid to capture the WWE World Tag Team Championship.
During the match, McDonagh launched himself off the middle rope and attempted a moonsault, but hit the back of his head on the announcers’ table. The incident was described by Raw announcer Michael Cole as “McDonagh is lucky he doesn’t have a damn broken neck.”
In a post on social media, McDonagh confirmed that he suffered a few injuries, including a couple of broken ribs and a punctured lung. He thanked fans for their messages and concern, and acknowledged that it could have been much worse.
“I’m good,” McDonagh wrote. “I’ve got a couple of broken ribs and a punctured lung, so I’m going to be out for a couple months. All things considered, it could have been a lot worse, so I’m grateful for that. See ya in a bit.”
McDonagh has been a part of the Judgement Day faction with Mysterio and Finn Balor, and has held the WWE NXT Cruiserweight Championship in the past. He has also competed in various independent promotions and has been named one of the top 500 singles wrestlers by Pro Wrestling Illustrated.
