Austin Aries suffered a bad cut to the eye and lost a lot of blood after taking a kick to the face from NXT Champion Shinsuke Nakamura at Wednesday’s NXT house show in Fresno, CA. As seen in the videos below, the match was stopped as the referee called for help. Aries did leave on his own but was sporting a black eye. There’s been no official word from WWE on his injury but we will keep you updated.

I don't know what the end result is, but Austin Aries got caught by Shinsuke. Possible eye/jaw injury or concussion. #NXTfresno pic.twitter.com/T0RpMzsfb7
