Impact Wrestling’s DJZ Suffers Injury, Undergoing Surgery (Update)

Impact Wrestling’s DJZ (real name Michael Paris) suffered an apparent bad injury last night in a six-man match for Crash wrestling in Mexico. According to another wrestler at the event, Gringo Loco (real name Charlie Santo), DJZ is currently undergoing surgery for a fractured colon, which was causing internal bleeding.

DJZ posted a video of himself in an ambulance after the match and said that he was “puking his guts out” and seemed to suffer the injury after being hit with a 450 splash.

It’s DJZ, just finished the event for Crash. As you can tell, it didn’t go so well for me. I’m in an ambulance right now. We’re not sure what’s wrong. I took a 450 splash and it knocked the wind out of me. Couldn’t stand up, felt like I broke a rib or something. Finished the match, however. Just puked my guts out after the match and couldn’t stand up and was basically dying and turning pale, so they called an ambulance. We’re gonna go to the hospital and see what’s wrong with me.

Charlie Santo then posted these updates:

UPDATE: Please keep Michael Paris in your prayers. He suffered multiple injuries during his match last night at The Crash. I was with him the entire night and I’ve never witnessed someone in more pain than him.
He will be undergoing surgery later today to stop the internal bleeding that occurred. With all of our prayers, if he’s very lucky the doctor said if all goes well the recovery time will be short. Let’s all pray that happens. 🙏

UPDATE: after a sleepless night and countless documents to get this all under way, Michael Paris is going into a major surgery as I write this . He’s been coherent and talking the entire time but in excruciating pain every minute. After numerous exams , they found that the colon was fractured and bleeding internally , which was causing all the pain and discomfort. They’re going to try to repair it first and if that doesn’t work , it only gets more complicated. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers . I personally have been over run with emotion since last night wishing I could help him. They only thing we Can do now is wait. I’ll update as soon as anything is told to me. 🙏

Update:

Charlie Santo posted an update that the surgery seems to have gone well and it sounds like DJZ will thankfully be OK.

UPDATE:::
Michael Paris is out of surgery. The procedure went well and has just arrived to the recovery room. He’ll have to be observed here 3-5 days depending on his recovery. But the doctor assured me he’ll eventually be out of the woods. . This is great news considering everything we were worried about last night.
