Ricochet, Fallon Henley reportedly in concussion protocol

[Chris]

WWE has placed Ricochet and Fallon Henley in concussion protocol.

Ricochet was injured in the four-way match on Raw for a shot at Gunther's Intercontinental Championship. He landed on his head and neck when attempting a springboard hurricanrana on Ivar and appeared to be rocked after.

Ricochet's status was addressed on last night's edition of Wrestling Observer Radio by our own Dave Meltzer.

"It's concussion protocol. I don't want to say concussion because as far as I know, it was not diagnosed as a concussion," Meltzer said.

Ricochet was said to be feeling fine after but he does not remember much of the match itself.

"(Ricochet) doesn't remember a lot of the match," Meltzer continued.

The original plan was for Ivar and Miz to pin Ricochet and Bronson Reed at the same time, leading to Miz vs. Ivar on Raw next week, which Miz was scheduled to win. However, Ricochet ended up getting his shoulder up on the pin, which he was not supposed to do.

Ivar attacking Miz after the match and hitting him with a moonsault was an on-the-fly decision to provide a reason for Miz and Ivar to still wrestle next week.


"Ricochet is alright but as far as when he'll be cleared and all that, it's concussion protocol, you just don't know," Meltzer said.

As for Henley, she was injured during her match against Tiffany Stratton on NXT this week.

Although this is not confirmed, our own Bryan Alvarez believes Henley sustained the injury when Stratton landed her Prettiest Moonsault Ever.

"You could see immediately when she hit that moonsault, like, Fallon's head bounced off the mat," Alvarez said. "Tiffany pinned her and I'm almost certain that's where it happened. But she is also injured, so best wishes to both of them."

There is no timetable for either wrestler's return.

Wishing both of them a speedy recovery. Concussions are no joke

Well that would track with the awkward ending to Raw then

That quote for the Fallon one doesn't have proper context btw, makes it sound like he's saying Tiffany missed. He said what he thinks happened is Tiffany checked where Fallon was but Fallon moved after Tiffany already started the moonsault so that's why she landed on Fallon's face. He also says he doesn't know that's where it happened but she seemed fine all match and def got her face smacked there

 

[Dale]

Looks like she shunts back ever so slightly and catches a bit of leg to the face​

 

[Deezy]

Told y'all Tiffy crushed her head in real time.

Over the weekend, Ricochet returned to action for the first time in nearly a month.

Ricochet wrestled at WWE's house show in Bangor, Maine on Saturday night, defeating Bronson Reed. Ricochet won with a schoolboy pin after avoiding a senton from Reed. It was Ricochet's first match since the November 6 episode of Raw.

Ricochet was placed into WWE's concussion protocol after competing in a fatal four-way match on that Raw episode. After Ricochet's head hit the mat earlier in the match, there was a botched finish where Ricochet kicked out of a pin attempt by Ivar when he wasn't supposed to. The match was originally supposed to end in a double pin, but it instead ended with The Miz pinning Reed.
