This week’s NXT saw Xia Li and Boa pick up a victory over Mercedes Martinez and Jake Atlas when Li nailed Martinez with a spinning back kick, prompting the referee to end the match via stoppage. There was immediate speculation that Martinez was knocked out by the kick, and Fightful‘s Sean Ross Sapp is now reporting Martinez was evaluated backstage and taken to a local hospital for further evaluation.
