Ring of Honor superstar BJ Whitmer suffered a serious injury during tonight’s Ring of Honor event in Toronto, Ontario, Canada after taking a piledriver on the ring apron from Michael Bennett in the first round of the ROH World Championship Tournament.

Following the piledriver on the ring apron, the match was abruptly stopped and Whitmer received medical attention for approximately 10-15 minutes. Cameras that were on hand for the event stopped filming and several wrestlers came to ringside.

Whitmer was stretchered out, but gave a thumbs up to the fans as the EMT’s took him away to a local hospital. We will have an update on the the situation as soon as it becomes available.
