Big Ouch: Another AEW Injury May Lead To Major Company Change

July 2, 2022

That could be a big change. AEW has done quite a bit in its first three years of existence and a lot of that has been due to the signature style that they work.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Adam Cole suffered a very serious concussion at Forbidden Door, which led to the awkward finish to the IWGP Title match. This is the latest in a series of injuries in AEW and should AEW President Tony Khan see it as a result of the company’s style, he may limit the amount of dangerous spots, perhaps even limiting them to pay per view.
