NWA star ‘The Pope’ Elijah Burke has been reportedly hospitalized in Atlanta, GA following the recently-concluded Hard Times 2 and it has been reported by PWInsider.
Elijah Burke made surprise appearance
In the aftermath of the show’s main event, Trevor Murdoch versus Mike Knox, Matt Cardona appeared and confronted the winner of the bout, Murdoch. This would allow Knox to connect with a low blow, and he and Cardona grouped up in an attack on the NWA Champion. WWE Female Star Reveals Pregnancy Weight Loss
WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley then appeared and said he had a surprise for the two men. This is when Elijah Burke turned up at ringside and began brawling with Knox and Cardona, but was thrown into the steps at ringside and appeared to go limp.
Following the event, the report asserts that Burke remained down as multiple officials including Billy Corgan came to check on him. The show went off the air and fans were exiting the venue as this process continued.
Ultimately, an ambulance rushed Burke to the nearest medical facility to be examined in the emergency room. Early this morning, the star was undergoing X-rays and additional tests to determine what the diagnosis is.
