At last night’s WWE NXT TV tapings they taped a match with The Vaudevillians vs. Jason Jordan and a wrestler wearing a partial mask, Mikaze. The match ended when Aiden English got a hot tag and went to work on Mikaze. Mikaze went down and the referee stopped the match, which appeared to come as a genuine surprise to the participants. Mikaze was down for several minutes while local EMT’s, WWE referees and WWE’s Dr. Chris Amann checked on him. He finally was helped to his feet and to the back about 10 minutes after going down.
Mikaze is Northeast indie wrestler Sarath Ton, who we noted was recently hired as WWE’s seamster following Sandra Gray’s departure. It’s possible Mikaze was receiving a tryout last night.
Mikaze is also the fiance of NXT Women’s Champion Sasha Banks. We noted earlier that Sasha did not work last night’s tapings but it’s unknown yet if Mikaze’s injury had anything to do with that. His injury came in the final taping so her absence is likely unrelated.
