WWE.com is reporting that Billy Gunn sustained hemoptysis after taking the powerbomb from The Shield at WrestleMania tonight. WWE physician Dr. Chris Amann said that Gunn will be monitored closely tonight, and they will provide more updates as they become available.

“At the very end of the match, Billy sustained a powerbomb maneuver,” said Amann. “After that maneuver, he started to develop hemoptysis, which is the medical term for coughing up blood.

“We brought him back and evaluated him immediately, checked his oxygen, his blood pressure ? everything was stable,” Amann continued. “We got some X-rays of his chest, which did not show any evidence of a collapsed lung, so our diagnosis right now is that he most likely ruptured a small blood vessel that caused bleeding to the airways and, subsequently, coughing up blood.”
