According to the report, during Impact Wrestling's taping, Edwards defeated Sami Callihan, who attacked him after the match. Callihan reportedly placed a chair on Edwards and hit it with a baseball bat. The bat bounced off the chair and hit Edwards across the top of the head, per the report.
Edwards returned to the locker room and was apparently taken to the ER.
Despite the injury, he seemed in good spirits:
