Daisuke Sekimoto Hospitalized After Serious Injury at 5/29 Big Japan Event

Thursday’s event for Big Japan Pro Wrestling in Tokyo, Japan featured Daisuke Sekimoto suffering a spinal-related injury.

The injury occurred during Sekimoto’s Six-Man Tag Team match with Ryuji Ito & Abdullah Kobayashi against Yuuki Miyamoto, Ryota Hama, & Andy Wu. During the match, Sekimoto was hit with a swinging DDT resulting in him not being able to get up and the referee calling for the bell. This led to Sekimoto being given some medical treatment and stretched out of the ring and sent to a hospital.

Big Japan issued an official statement during the show stating that Sekimoto was rushed to the hospital but was conscious and able to move his limbs.

"Sekimoto was rushed to the hospital. His limbs are moving and his consciousness is clear. This is what we know now. Thank you“

In a follow-up update, Big Japan announced that Sekimoto was discharged from the hospital and returned home and will continue to be evaluated. It was stated that Sekimoto is experiencing some numbness in his arms and neck but this is currently believed to only be temporary. It was also stated that CT and MRI scans showed no abnormalities and there is no suspicion of him suffering a spinal cord injury.

“As a result of a medical examination at a hospital in Tokyo, there were no abnormalities in the CT or MRI, and there is no suspicion of spinal cord injury. He currently feels numbness in his arms and neck, but all muscles are strong and the numbness seems to be temporary. He will return home today and future treatment will be done after consultation at a hospital in Yokohama.”
