WWE’s recent PLE offering Elimination Chamber saw the six RAW superstars compete inside the structure for the United States Championship. The Champion Austin Theory was up against Damien Priest, Seth Rollins, Johnny Gargano, Bronson, and one-half of The Street Profits, Montez Ford. The match itself more than lived up to its billing with a talented cast, but it was Montez Ford who became the talking point for his efforts in the match.
During the match, Ford, known for his athletic prowess, pulled off an insane-looking dive from the ceiling of the Chamber itself. He pulled off some other top spots in the match. But after this high-risk spot, he was unable to continue the match and had to be carried out of the Chamber, leaving fans concerned.

Montez Ford may have made his name as a tag team star, but he’s coming into his own as a singles competitor. The United States Championship Elimination Chamber match was a chance for the 32-year-old wrestler to show what he was capable of and he didn’t disappoint. He pulled off some of the best spots in the match, including a risky dive from the ceiling of the structure.
But one of these high-risk spots proved one too much as Ford landed badly and couldn’t continue the match. He then had to be carried out of the match as his night came to a premature end. Fans online reacted to the WWE superstar’s injury.
Jesus. If he was really hurt with a neck injury they wouldn’t move him. Good lord.

That was scary. He was in a very odd position while on the mat then you could see his legs clearly weren’t working. Hopefully it’s only a stinger.
