Jack Evans pulled from IMPACT Slammiversary, replacement announced
Jack Evans is out of tonight's Ultimate X match on the IMPACT Slammiversary pay-per-view.
Last night at Game Changer Wrestling's You Wouldn't Understand event; Jack Evans was injured in a match against Ninja Mack. When he executed a 630 splash, the former AEW star landed awkwardly on the back of his neck.
Evans was scheduled to compete in tonight's Ultimate X match at IMPACT Slammiversary, but out of precaution, IMPACT has pulled him and replaced him with Andrew Everett. The company made the following announcement regarding the switch on social media.
"BREAKING: Out of an abundance of caution following an injury this weekend, @JackEvans711 has been pulled from today's Ultimate-X match. He will be replaced in the X-Division Title showdown by @_AndrewEverett! #Slammiversary #IMPACTWRESTLING," IMPACT Wrestling announced on Twitter.
