The tag team match between Jey Uso and Kofi Kingston against Imperium was cut short after Giovanni Vinci got his bell rung following a dropkick in the head by Kingston. Vinci was coming off the second rope and Kofi connected straight in the face, knocking him out momentarily.
The referee immediately noticed something was wrong and quickly went over to Vinci, preventing Jey Uso from continuing with the match after getting the tag. The referee threw up the X hand sign and called for the bell on the orders of the doctor. Cameras moved away from Vinci as he was being treated at ringside.
WWE ringside physician Dr. Amann and Ludwig Kaiser then helped Vinci out.
Vinci wrote on X later in Italian that he was fine and thanked everyone while Kofi also reacted, writing “Damn…”
I bet Giovanni Vinci has a massive concussion. Look at Jey’s reaction to the bump. #WWEDay1 #WWERaw pic.twitter.com/yNvn800alD
