WWE Superstar JD McDonagh will be out of action for the foreseeable future after a move gone wrong during “Monday Night Raw” … which left him with some significant injuries.
The scene happened during McDonagh’s tag team match with Dominik Mysterio against the Viking Raiders. While attempting a move from the ring apron down to the floor, McDonagh seemingly caught too much air … and missed his opponent. Instead, his head smacked on the announcer’s table.

He somehow went on to finish the match … but some fans in attendance reported the 34-year-old fell to the floor once he got backstage.
Later in the night, JD posted to social media that while he was good, he suffered broken ribs and a punctured lung … and would be sidelined for a couple of months.
First off, thanks to everyone for the messages and the concern. I’m good.
I’ve got a couple of broken ribs and a punctured lung, so I’m going to be out for a couple months. All things considered, it could have been a lot worse, so I’m grateful for that.
See ya in a bit. 🤘🏻

Based on JD’s injury report, it seems his head was somehow fine after the scary moment … which was fans’ initial concern in real-time.
The ailment will keep him out of the Royal Rumble event this Saturday … and could potentially hurt his status for WrestleMania, which is slated to go down 80 days from now in Las Vegas.
Speedy recovery, JD.
