During last night’s NXT live event in Omaha, Nebraska, official Tom Castor broke his leg during the headlining title bout between Velveteen Dream and Tyler Breeze. Castor was able to finish officiating the matchup before being stretchered out of the arena. Head NXT official Drae Wuertz posted on Twitter asking for fans to keep Castor in their thoughts, then revealed what Castor said to him before being taken to the hospital.
Please say a prayer for my brother
@tomcastorWWE. He broke his leg in the line of duty tonight during the main event of#NXTOmaha. When he was on the stretcher he squeezed my hand and proudly said “Drake I Love the Business”. We love you Tom!
