Current champion has reportedly been hospitalized hours ahead of Monday Night Raw title defense

The champ was hospitalized.

UPDATE: According to Pro Wrestling Sheet, Amore is expected in the arena for Monday Night Raw.


It's apparently not looking good for Enzo Amore's scheduled WWE Cruiserweight title defense Cedric Alexander, as the champ has been hospitalized, according to PWInsider.

Amore reportedly posted on an Instagram story that he was hooked up to an IV at a hospital in Miami, Florida. Amore was reportedly sick backstage and was sent to the hospital.

The cruiserweight titleholder is a two-time champion since branching out on his own. His second reign has lasted 71 days, with wins over Kalisto twice since he won the belt at WWE TLC.

Alexander qualified for the No. 1 contender spot after defeating Drew Gulak on Monday Night Raw weeks ago. He took Rich Swann's place after the cruiserweight contender was arrested.
