Last night, Ring of Honor held a Field of Honor event at MCU Park in Brooklyn, NY, and Alex Shelley shattered two of his front teeth at the event.
The injury came when Mark Briscoe hit Shelley with a knee to the face, and the following was posted by Shelley on Twitter:

I finished the match. And now, my family wants me to finish wrestling. My sister saw me wrestle for the first time today, ironically.
