Cruiserweight Classic Competitor Suffers Concussion

Prince Mustafa Ali, who competed in the first round of the WWE Cruiserweight Classic, was injured at last night’s AAW event in Chicago. Ali was up against Rey Horus (aka Dragon Azteca in Lucha Underground). He took a hard shot into the barricade, and was knocked unconscious. The match was called off and he was checked out by medical staff immediately. He was revived and helped to the back. Later in the show, Ali returned and apologized to the crowd, noting that he suffered a “minor concussion” during the match, and would be out of action for a few weeks. The two will rematch at a future AAW event.

Guys. I'm good. My apologies to everyone at @AAWPro and @DragonAztecaJr. I'll be back to right this wrong.
