Enzo hasn't gotten to sleep yet

[Rayne]

We all got to sleep through the second half of Payback, but Enzo hasn't been allowed to yet. That might just be the shittiest part of getting a concussion.

Hands up who else thought he was just selling really well, i.e. how he always does.

Definitely thought so, or rather hoped so. Once if became apparent that it was legit, I was actually feeling nauseous waiting for an update.

I really hate being that guy who says "I knew something was up right away", but I knew something was up the way he hit those ropes.

To show I was just as much in the dark as to the nature of the injury as anyone else though, I thought he had caught his neck on the second rope and was thinking "Perro Aguayo Jr.". Which, fuck. Glad he's alright. (Enzo, obviously.) When I saw the defibrillator next to the EMT that showed up, followed by the long announcer shot into the Owens/Zayn promo, I was pretty damn worried.

The way he was breathing and stiff indicated a legit knockout, but the way everyone reacted made me think it was a work. I was back and forth before proclaiming it a work.

Gotch trying to move him scared the fuck out of me. No lie.

I thought it was a work as well. Not saying Enzo is a pussy but I've seen what looked to be harder hits than that, it just goes to show though. Going by the slow mo replay as well I was debating whether Enzo purposely took a while to try and slide out or if he was genuinely too off balance to make a quick enough movement. Even when the stretcher came I still didn't believe it until the commentators actually cut to the Owens/Zayn promo or whatever it was they cut to. Glad to hear he is all good though.

Wonder what would of been the outcome though. I also wonder if they have The Vaudevillains as #1 contenders or a rematch. I don't think you can have New Day sit by for another month doing nothing.

I thought if the ref did the "X" thing then it meant "real injury, send meds plz". Plus the whiplash on that bump. Ouch.

The thing is, his eyes looked similarly glazed when he'd taken that kick in the corner just before the rope spot so I wonder if he'd maybe been knocked a little loopy then which factored into his misjudging the rope distance.

Very unsettling to see that he was just completely out of it before he even exited the ring.

It does, but it also gets used to sell storyline injuries. Not that big of a deal confusion-wise when you know if the X is coming and all your referees are earpieced.

Thought it looked off the way he went into the half slide, so he could have been dazed from that kick he took in the corner. Once I saw his eyes when he was on the floor, I knew it wasnt good.

Gotch threw him too close to the ropes. Happens.

Speedy recovery to the man.
