The NXT Fresno show had a main event of Samoa Joe and Austin Aries vs Shinsuke Nakamura and No Way Jose. The match ended earlier with an apparent injury to Aries after a kick to the face from Nakamura. The referee threw up the dreaded ‘X’ symbol and the match was stopped.
Here is a photo of Aries from a fan in attendance:

Not sure how serious the injury is. He was able to walk out under his own power, so that is certainly a good sign! Get well soon Aries and hope you are good to go for NXT Takeover Toronto!
