After the bell, Breakker attacked Wagner and seemingly smashed his head with the steel steps, though the feed cut out, so the impact wasn't shown. WWE announced that Wagner, who was stretchered out of the arena, was taken to a local hospital for evaluation.

On the September 12 episode of WWE NXT, Vic Joseph provided an update. He stated that Wagner was diagnosed with a "minor skull fracture." Joseph noted that, due to his past brain and skull surgeries, the timetable for his recovery has yet to be determined. Wagner continues to be monitored by specialists, according to Joseph.
