As mentioned prior, Austin Aries was injured at the NXT live event on Wednesday night. He took a kick from Shinsuke Nakamura in the face, which caused the referee to toss-up the dreaded ‘X’ symbol that signifies a real injury. Aries was able to walk out of the ring under his own power but looked to be in considerable pain.

Aries posted a photo on twitter of his face the day after all of the swelling. Beware, it is nasty looking:

I guess Shinsuke Nakamura isn’t lying when he calls himself the ‘King Of Strong Style’. Aries seems to be in good spirits. Looks like it is just a really bad shiner that will take a little bit to fully heal up. You can watch the video here of how it happened if you are curious.
