The No. 1 contender's tag team match between the Vaudevillains and breakout stars Enzo and Cass Sunday night at Payback was called off by officials after Enzo Amore suffered a serious injury and was taken from the scene on a stretcher.

Simon Gotch attempted to throw Amore out of the ring, but he slid into the ropes and appeared to suffer whiplash as he made contact. Amore fell to the ground outside the ring and was not responsive to the referee, who signaled for the match to end after doctors reached Amore.
WWE's Michael Cole said that Amore has been taken to a local medical facility in Chicago, but that he is moving his extremities and talking.
UPDATE: Prior to the main event, Cole gave an update on Amore's condition and said that he was "diagnosed with a concussion but all other tests have come back negative."
Positive vibes & well wishes for my boy @WWEAaLLday21.
