After undergoing medical tests to determine the extent of his injuries at Night of Champions, we can thankfully report that Sting’s neck is not broken.
Sting was taken to the hospital after Night of Champions and reportedly underwent a CAT scan and MRI. According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, “He was able to walk [after the PPV], but he was not doing well … The MRI showed no fractures”
There had been plans for Sting to appear in the opening segment of RAW, but he wound up going home after a long 24 hours. Sting suffered the neck injury after taking a powerbomb into turnbuckles at Night Of Champions. Despite the relieving medical news, Meltzer thinks WWE is “going to be leery” about putting Sting back in the ring after this close call.
