Sources are reporting that Eddie actually went into shock after his match with Bradshaw on Sunday, due in part to the severe blood loss that he suffered, while also trying to overextend himself, and becoming dehydrated. It was said to have been a pretty scary situation backstage at first because not everyone knew about what was going on, but Eddie was taken to the hospital in shock, and given IV fluids as well as sixteen (16) stitches for the gash on his forehead.
The severity of Eddie`s cut was not intended to be nearly as bad as it was, but this was just a case of Eddie getting caught up in the moment and blading a bit too heavily. The plan was not for Eddie to lose so much blood that he couldn`t go on, and the result of that happening sent the match from being dramatic to being a little bit scary and gruesome to many backstage. The thought was that it took away from Eddie`s comeback to where many people were questioning whether the match should end or if Eddie would pass out any second, rather than paying attention to Eddie`s babyface in peril role in the match.
Eddie was released from the hospital late Sunday night / early Monday morning after getting the fluids and the stitches in his forehead. It is expected that he will be at tonight`s Smackdown tapings.
