BALTIMORE – WWE physician Chris Amann has provided WWE.com with an injury update on Kevin Nash, who had to be carted out of the 1st Mariner Arena on a stretcher after falling to his former friend Triple H in a chaotic Sledgehammer Ladder Match at WWE TLC. (PHOTOS)

"With the impact of the sledgehammer, Kevin sustained multiple contusions over his body,” Dr. Amann said. “Of most significance was a nasal fracture he sustained when he was struck in the face by the implement.”

Based on diagnoses made at a Baltimore medical facility Nash was rushed to following the match, the former WWE Champion will require at least six weeks without contact. During that time, he will likely be required to wear a brace to protect his nose while it heals.
