Summary

Anthony Bowens reflected on a frightening moment from the December 21, 2016 episode of NXT (taped November 30), where he teamed with Jonathan Ortagun against The Authors of Pain, Akam and Rezar.

AOP won quickly after the Super Collider and a powerbomb of Ortagun onto Bowens. Bowens later commented that he believes the incident involved a posturing seizure, and he did not wrestle again until January 21, 2017.

Anthony Bowens and long-term impact of the AOP spot

Anthony Bowens identifying that sequence as a possible posturing seizure adds serious context to a match that already looked dangerous in real time. The gap before his next match, from December 21, 2016 to January 21, 2017, also underscores that this was not a routine bump and required time away.
