Referee Breaks Leg At NXT Live Event

At last night’s NXT live event in Omaha, Nebraska, referee Tom Castor suffered a broken leg during the main event between Velveteen Dream and Tyler Breeze. Even though his leg was broken, he still managed to count the final pinfall to end the match. You can see the somewhat graphic photos of the injury below, as well as reactions.

Please say a prayer for my brother @tomcastorWWE. He broke his leg in the line of duty tonight during the main event of #NXTOmaha. When he was on the stretcher he squeezed my hand and proudly said "Drake I Love the Business". We love you Tom! 🙏

There aren’t too many that ‘love the business’ left. He’s one. Tell him to let me know how I can help. Gotta TRY to keep the love alive. https://t.co/1CUdf5ug35
