By Nick Paglino

aj stylesDuring last night's Preston City Wrestling event, UK wrestler Lionheart, real name Adrian McCallum, suffered a broken neck in 2 places when he took a botched Styles Clash from AJ Styles.

Lionheart issued the following statement regarding his health via the PCW Facebook page:

All,

Words cannot describe the physical and emotional roller coaster of the past 30+ hours…

To update, my neck is broken in 2 places. I have had an MRI and the positive spin is there is no immediate requirement for surgery, although that may change…

I don't want to bore anyone or appear to fish for sympathy as I will comment more in depth in time… All I want to say is that the outpouring of support, calls, messages etc has been truly overwhelming… Reading them all has reduced me to tears more times than I can count… I thank you, and I love you… I know not what the future holds, and as emotional and drained as I am, I will fight back from this…

Much love.
