While the barricade itself was gimmicked to break, the Wrestling Observer’s Bryan Alvarez reported that Williams had accidentally hit his head on a metal beam that was supporting it. Alvarez reported that the match referee went up to Williams and asked him if he was okay and Williams responded that he was but the referee asked him again to make sure he was okay.
