Talk about a cliffhanger ending! On tonight’s WWE NXT, one star took it way too far in his post-match attack after the main event.

Despite the live TV feed cutting to black, the events in front of the live crowd continued to play out and commentary could still be heard commenting on the brutality.

After beating Von Wagner in a no disqualifications match on tonight’s NXT (September 5) Bron Breakker didn’t stop there.

Breakker took it a step further when he was seen setting Von Wagner up for what appeared to be him about to smash Wagner’s head with the steel steps.

As you may recall, Von Wagner’s ongoing storyline and babyface turn had uncovered his childhood adversity due to being born with a medical condition that required him to have surgery on his skull at only fifteen months old, leading to a prominent forehead which was the subject of bullying as a child.

At any rate, given his skull being an in-storyline sensitive area, it appears Breakker targeted that in the post-match attack that occurred when the show cut to black just as Breakker and the steps seemed to make impact with Wagner’s skull.

Stylized as if production had to cut to black as to avoid showing the carnage, commentary did a great job with Booker T, Baron Corbin and Vic Joseph dropping integral lines.

The show remained black-screened until the broadcast was over.

After the taping officially ended, the live crowd in attendance saw the scene continue to unfold as Shawn Michaels came to ringside with concern.

Next Von Wagner was stretchered out of the Performance Center ringside area, seen with what could be blood on his forehead, draped in gauze.
