WWE superstar Kale Dixon made his Monday Night Raw debut this week but it didn’t go quite as he’d hoped as he left the arena in an ambulance.
The 26-year-old wrestler, who has only really been seen on NXT Level Up or untelevised shows to date, had the unenviable task of facing an angry Bron Breakker on last night’s show.
The brief and brutal bout saw him thrown around effortlessly by the rising star, who beat him in just one minute and 40 seconds, before carrying on the attack after the bell.
Bringing steel steps and a chair into the mix, Breakker targeted his opponent with brutal shots, forcing him to leave the ringside area on a stretcher.
In footage aired as part of the show, Dixon was seen being carted to an ambulance backstage, with announces saying he was being taken to a nearby hospital.
Speaking to general manager Adam Pearce backstage, Breakker simply said: ‘You can’t control me. You didn’t put me in King of the Ring? That’s on you.’

Despite being part of the show, viewers were still stunned by the brutal beatdown Bron gave his opponent, showing an incredible amount of intensity.
‘What did Kale Dixon do to make Bron Breakker THAT mad? #WWERaw,’ asked the official @USANetwork account, while @TheBigPop_ simply tweeted: ‘Poor Kale Dixon.’
‘If anyone has Kale Dixon’s mom’s address…please send her some flowers… #WWERaw,’ joked @englishinaz, and @OutsiderX15 said: ‘The next time you see Kale Dixon, he likely won’t remember who the heck he is. #WWERAW’
@Stymead quipped: ‘Just witnessed Bron Breakker commit a murder on live television #WWERaw’

Later in the night, Bron also attacked Ricochet backstage, interrupting an exchange between The Only And Only and Raw newcomer Ilja Dragunov, with the latter unsure if the collision was really meant for him.
Speaking after the show, he warned his newfound rival: ‘Bron. You’re the golden child, gifted at all sports, and you think that is intensity. No. It is not having all of that.
‘It is developing skills and endurance when no one thinks you are gonna make it. Intensity means suffering. And the Mad Dragon is going to make you suffer.’

While Kale has primarily been seen on NXT Level Up, Bron is already rising up the ranks as one of the most promising stars in the whole company.
The son of Rick Steiner and nephew of Scott Steiner, the 26-year-old wrestler is a two-time NXT Champion, and also held the NXT Tag Team Titles with Baron Corbin earlier this year.
Since being called up to the main roster in February, he has torn through the competition, impressing fans with his intensity and physicality in the ring.
