Organizers at KnokX in Sun Valley stated that the incident began as a scripted segment, which is known in wrestling as a “work,” but it soon escalated far beyond what was planned.

The organizers apologised for the unfortunate incident as they wrote, “This egregious act is reprehensible and never should have occurred.
