Mr. 450, who is the PCW Light Heavyweight champion, and is scheduled to face Alexander Hammerstone on PCW’s January 20, 2017 show in Wilmington, appeared to suffer a knee injury at the WWE 205Live tapings yesterday, though it appeared he was favoring it before the match started. He stated on his Instagram account that it was a possible torn meniscus. He will be going to the doctors today to get it checked out. PCW is hopeful that he will still be able to defend his title on their show, but will announce any lineup changes if they find out he won’t be able to make it.
Mr. 450 is also scheduled for The Crash in Tijuana on January 21st.
