Sports medicine doctor Brian Sutterer, MD, recently discussed the moment Hangman Page suffered a concussion on AEW Dynamite.

During his AEW World Championship match against Jon Moxley on the Title Tuesday edition of Dynamite, Page was hit with a King Kong Lariat by the champion. The move caused the challenger to flip and bump awkwardly on his head and neck.

Referee Paul Turner immediately called for medical staff to check on Page before determining that he could no longer continue. As a result, Turner awarded the match to Jon Moxley via doctor stoppage.

Brian Sutterer posted a video to his YouTube channel giving a detailed insight into Page's health situation. He said:

"As he comes to the mat [which] is probably the most concerning part of this, Because we've seen athletes in other sports — there was a bare-knuckle boxer who actually died recently, after suffering a spinal cord injury during the fall. So, as he comes down, you can see how he lands on his head, unfortunately, it bends a little bit off to the side."

Sutterer gave pointers about how someone in Page's position should be potentially treated. He further highlighted other possible repercussions of the former champion's injury.

"Remember that just because the only thing we've heard about is a concussion, that doesn't mean there's not other injuries, like maybe some nerve irritation, maybe something with some strain or sprain to the neck muscles or neck ligaments. So this doesn't mean that it's automatically going to be a quicker return." (H/T Fightful).
