Tommy Sheehan recently made his exit from MTV’s The Challenge: Spies, Lies and Allies, following an injury on the August 25th episode.
The former Survivor Season 39 winner, who entered The Challenge as a rookie, was suddenly forced to withdraw from this year’s series.
It came after he was injured during a gruelling task set to the agents, similar to Michele Fitzgerald, who was also hurt amongst the chaos.
Several viewers are now concerned about Tommy, and wonder what happened to him, following his withdrawal from the competition show.

Tommy talks about The Challenge injury
Tommy has since spoken about his injury, which led to his shocking exit. Despite being in pain, he said he wanted to finish it for Big T.
He revealed on The Challenge Aftermath show:
I knew something was off. Once I landed, I didn’t want to let her down. I put my bomb down and I instantly collapsed. I’ve never felt that pain and panic. I was like, something is wrong.

Tommy said: “It just was all a blur. Hey, I finished it!”
