That’s a relief. Every time a wrestler goes into the ring, you never know what’s going to happen. While wrestlers are professionals and some of the best trained performers in the world, there’s always the chance that someone is going to get injured. It can happen all the way from the main event of WrestleMania to the lowest of house show matches, which is what happened on Sunday night.
According to Ringsidenews.com, Tye Dillinger seemed to have been knocked out during a match with Shelton Benjamin in Florence, South Carolina. The details are sparse but it seems to be due to Dillinger taking a hard bump. There is no word on whether or not the match was finished or if Dillinger got back to his feet. At the moment it isn’t clear if he was selling or actually knocked out.

Here’s what Dillinger has been up to as of late.
Opinion: This doesn’t seem to be anything too serious and that’s a lucky break for everyone involved. Dillinger isn’t the biggest star in the world but he’s someone who is going out there and trying his hardest. At least it’s not a serious injury and hopefully he’s going to be fine going forward. It would be nice to see Dillinger getting some more TV time, if nothing else for the sake of the energetic entrance.
