In a terrifying update, Andy Williams, i.e., The Butcher, collapsed at the Enjoy Five-Year Anniversary event and had to be taken out in an ambulance for urgent medical assistance.
Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp confirmed the development on social media. He wrote:
“Andy Williams collapsed at a wrestling show tonight and required medical attention. Hoping for the best and keeping him in our thoughts.”
According to Fightful, fans in attendance said the match was proceeding as normal when The Butcher’s legs suddenly buckled, and he collapsed on the floor. His partner, The Blade, immediately signaled for help, apart from trying to assist Butcher in getting to his feet.
However, Williams collapsed again and passed out. The officials tried to pour ice on him before paramedics attempted chest compressions and used a defibrillator. Williams was taken off in an ambulance, and the rest of the show was canceled.
