The final WWE Raw ahead of WrestleMania 40 was a wild night in Brooklyn and one star was lucky to escape without serious injury.

Finn Balor and Damian Priest will put their Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship on the line at WrestleMania 40 in a six-pack challenge ladder match. The Judgment Day pair will face off with #DIY, The Awesome Truth, The New Day, A-Town Down Under, and New Catch Republic in the bout but Monday Night Raw saw one star scheduled for the match narrowly escape disaster.

The Judgment Day’s four male members faced #DIY and The New Day in an eight-man tag team match on Raw in Brooklyn, New York with Priest, Balor, Dominik Mysterio, and JD McDonagh coming out on top. During that match Johnny Gargano flew through the air with a dive to the outside and clattered head-first into the commentary desk as a result, leaving many worried about his condition.

However, Gargano has now taken to social media to confirm that he’s alright and prepared to get even more wild at WrestleMania:

Appreciate the concern, y’all! I’m good! And all I’m going to say.. is if I’m taking risks like this on #WWERAW… Imagine what I’m gonna do in that Ladder Match at #WrestleManiaXL! Let’s get nuts!

Finn Balor recently revealed a gruesome injury to his head but the Irish star was fine for competition on Raw and is not expected to be a doubt for WrestleMania.
