Alex Shelley suffered a significant injury at a Ring of Honor event.

During a recent Ring of Honor taping, Alex Shelley collided heads with Frankie Kazarian which resulted in a concussion and some missing teeth. Shelley confirmed the injuries in the following tweets where he said he was glad to have his mouth guard.

Long story short: my teeth got knocked out alongside a concussion that made me time travel. And it all goes to hell from here.

Never been hit so hard in my life, I might add. There are chunks of teeth stuck in my mouthpiece, which is fight grade. If I didn’t have that, I would have been getting emergency surgery.

Shelley noted that the injury took place in the same city where he had one of his biggest injuries which required physical therapy. Shelley said there's no therapy for a concussion and missing teeth. The thirty-five year old Shelley also tweeted that maybe he should take the hint about continuing to wrestle.

Like, when things like this happen (freak occurrences that statistically have a low probability of happening) I can't help but wonder if I'm just being stubborn and not reading the signs. It's heart rendering and depressing, but it's also my current reality.

The injury occurred at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City in a six-man tag team gauntlet match. The taping will air at a later date on Ring of Honor television.
