A squad of medical personnel crowded an exit in the backstage area, double doors open to the outside where a lit-up ambulance awaited. Salem was strapped to a stretcher, neck braced and limbs secured to prevent any unwanted involuntary movements that could adjust his orientation.
His eyes were shut, he seemed peacefully asleep to anyone who hadn't known what he'd been through recently, an oxygen mask affixed to his face to help keep him stable. A couple agents and talent relations executives were present, discussing logistics about transportation and care while paramedics secured Salem's gurney for travel. The medical staff started to elaborate on his injuries to management.
"We suspect a concussion, potential fractures or breaks, it's hard to say right now." a staff doctor elaborated. "We need to transport him to the hospital for examination right away, his condition has been stabilized for the moment, but without knowing the severity of his injuries, we can't guarantee how long he stays that way. Is anyone going to the hospital with him? We should get him en route immediately."

Drako makes his way to the room, still in his ring gear but he'd thrown a tshirt on.
"Move, dumbass, I'm clearly not the issue here."
Security steps aside for the champion to enter the room.
"Yeah doc, I'm going with him. How bad is it looking here?"

The on-site doctor turned from the management to the World Champion, hesitating a second but then elaborating on the details as Salem was being secured and prepared to be loaded into the ambulance.
"Well, he's likely got a concussion. We anticipate rib breaks or fractures, but without x-rays we aren't sure the extent of any bone damage. He's been unconscious this whole time, while it's a kindness for him, given his condition, it doesn't inform us much into any potential spinal injury. We don't think he's lost any motor functions, but what he's capable of isn't known yet, we really need a hospital's facilities to examine him further."

Drako watches and listens to the doctor's statement.
"Fine, I'll go with him. Have someone bring my bag and the belt to the hospital. I'll be there until we know more."
He watches as they carefully load Salem into the ambulance and prepares to get in after they're done

Bison passed by, noticing Salem being loaded in.
"Ha! Still in dreamland Salem? Its what he gets for being so stupid. You should have stayed on the shelf, but you surrendered that choice to the Alpha Male! Let those words be all you hear in that coma Salem...all hail the alpha male!"

Drako stops, noticing the Alpha Male and hearing his comments.
"Maybe you should be concerned with what comes your way next, and less about the guy you had to beat while he's defenseless."
The champion's eyes narrow, perhaps in anger, perhaps in irritation, at the big man. He brushes his hair back from his face almost absently, irritated with it falling in his face at the moment.

Bison directed his gazed to the champion.
"Oh...I have been looking to the future. Chalk this beating down to tying up loose ends. When he wakes, maybe remind him that next time he should stay out of my way."
He cracked his neck, seemingly not have even broken a sweat in that brutal match.
"As for things coming ones way... your time will come soon enough, champion...and when it does... I'll tell you... that is a promise. Then you can join your friend in the hospital."

Drako smirks though there's no humor in the situation.
"I've fought bigger and badder when I was still in wrestling training, big guy. You may have gotten this one over on Salem, but to me, bison are just livestock, and Dragons eat the livestock first when taking down the kingdom."
The Soaring Dragon's gaze was as serious as it ever was as he looked at the big man for a few moments more before turning and getting into the ambulance behind Salem for it to finally carry him off to the hospital
