Humberto Carrillo took to Twitter this afternoon to issue his first public comments since taking the bad bump during the match with WWE United States Champion Sheamus on last night’s RAW.
As noted, Carrillo delivered a Sunset Bomb from the apron to the floor but the match abruptly ended due to Sheamus landing on Carrillo’s knee. Sheamus was declared the winner via referee stoppage. Carrillo tweeted this afternoon and warned The Celtic Warrior that this isn’t over.
“Last night was the first time I couldn’t finish a match in my whole wrestling career, but when you push the limits as I do anything can happen in a split of second. This is not over @WWESheamus …. untill next time! #WWERaw,” Carrillo wrote.
