Reports from the NXT live event at the Lakeland Armory this past Friday, March 20, 2026, confirm that a multi-man tag team match was abruptly stopped following a scary situation involving two prominent stars.
The incident occurred during an 8-man tag team match featuring The Birthright (Lexis King, Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo, Charlie Dempsey, and Uriah Connors) against a team led by NXT Men’s Speed Champion Elio LaFleur, along with Tavon Heights, Eli Knight, and Kale Dixon.
- The Incident: The referee was forced to wave off the match and signal for medical attention.
- Stars Affected: Both Elio LaFleur and Lexis King were identified as the injured parties.
- Current Status: While the match was officially stopped due to “potential injuries,” WWE has not yet released a formal medical update on the severity of the situation.
Action had to be stopped twice when the ref threw up the X signal for injuries last night at #nxtlakeland. Brian Pillman Jr took a knee of the face. Couldn’t tell if he was concussed but had a lot of swelling. Elio LeFleur might’ve broken his arm going into a turnbuckle. pic.twitter.com/zzI6kLdJ4j
