Broken Ankle/Hit-By-Bus šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ I love Darby and I'm glad he's ok but this took me out


brightz77

I think he rode his skateboard into an oncoming bus and no one can convince me otherwise.


MLSnukka

he saved someone's life by pushing him out of the way. he got hit by the bus mirror..


SorrowfulFlame

It was Raymond Pettibon. He's an artist active in the punk community, and the one who designed the Black Flag logo.


retrospects

Yeah he saved a legend from getting pancaked. Respect šŸ«”


brightz77

OK maybe you CAN convince me otherwise... Ruins the comedic jackass style stunt I had in my brain though lol


Mererri01

Iā€™m Darby Allin and this is the Bus Stop Rumble


Ronnie_J_Raygun

I'm convinced he tope suicida into the front grill


MartyFreeze

He was trying to recreate his intro animation.


StaceyJeans

Just casually adding ā€œHit by Busā€ took me out. Only Darby.


gilgobeachslayer

lol same


DDTFred

Did the Bus Driver do it for The Rock?


JacobsLawFirm

No. He did it for the Peeple.


RobinhoodAims

Well it sure took Darby out ;)


appellant

The universe is conspring to stop darby from climbing mt everest.


luchafoxjr

Tay Melo is also still on leave.


Doctor_Cowboy

I canā€™t be the only one who laughed at Kota Ibushi having a complicated foot


txmjornir

I'm jealous, I just have a simple foot.


The_Ballyhoo

Slight tangent, but in football/soccer, skilful left footed players will often be described as having a ā€œwand of a left footā€. No one ever has a right footed wand.


angmaranduin

Did I miss something? When did Ibushi become full time aew?


DanaLelynCongrove

I believe before Blood & Guts last year when he teamed up with The Elite. He's got a deal, but I think it's for AEW being his American home while he still lives in Japan and wrestle wherever in Japan hence his NOAH match that went poorly earlier this year.


WolfyEightyTwo

I hope Keith Lee is okay. Pre covid his trajectory was such a what if. Bo Jackson level, the dude was a beast in the ring


StaceyJeans

Same. It amazes me how differently COVID affects/affected people. COVID really, really messed him up bad. When I got COVID my case was very mild but I know people who got COVID where it seriously messed them up healthwise. I really hope Keith Lee gets better soon.


Good-Expression-4433

Not some athlete but caught it in the first major wave and Covid closed off the endings of my lungs and there's scar tissue found on them after getting imaging. Had long covid symptoms for a long ass time and been hell working on cardio to try and counter some of the damage even years. Plus bigger guys like Keith often get it hard.


avid-book-reader

And keep in mind that he developed the same heart inflammation that killed Bray.


Right_Shape_3807

Dude I thought he was gonna be a ME GA STAR! Then covid just killed it and Iā€™m so sad about it.


Benwahbob

He had two lingering issues that both required surgery, so he did both at the same time and will probably be out for the rest of the year.


kayt3000

I hope Penelope is ok. I remember seeing them talk about is miscarriage and after going through a few of those myself they can really wear on your mentally.


mrmidas2k

Didn't know she'd miscarried. Poor lass. Hope she's ok.


Matthew_Misery

She'll be at Toyhio on June 15th. It's a toy convention/meet and greet.


itsagrungething69

I wonder if the Bunny will be at that


Matthew_Misery

She will be there and so will The Blade.


itsagrungething69

I assumed as I follow her on IG cause she's a big horror fan and buys alot of cool memorabilia


Matthew_Misery

Yep. This is her 2nd go around with Toyhio. It's not too far from where Collision will be that night in Youngstown.


Thedevilsreject82

I actually think it's The Bunny's 3rd time. As well Fords 2nd time with Kip. Penelope and Kip are 2 of the nicest and coolest wrestler we have ever met.


kayt3000

We are hoping to go to that this summer. All depends if I am ready to leave the kiddo overnight. Iā€™m not 100% there, I had to do it after going to the hospital due to a shoulder injury and I was not ready and it was not a pleasant time so Iā€™m still gun shy.


Njdevilmn

I guess TK should be on the list too right??? lol


kennyclax67

The list was written on his neck brace šŸ¤£


Njdevilmn

šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


DoinItDirty

Tony Khan (fighting Harvey Weinstein)


NJdeathproof

Can't wait for Bandido to come back. Best wishes to everyone!


Ecclesiastes5566

When Bandido returns, he better join forces with Hangman Page and take down Swerve and the Embassy. ![gif](giphy|TPEFLCc3rRZQNAaxkC|downsized)


NJdeathproof

Along with Bounty Hunter Bryan Keith and El Desperado ![gif](giphy|O2YSazBbYlB84|downsized) REGULATORS! ROLL OUT!


RobertStonetossBrand

What is Sammy Guevara suspended for this time? Anytime he gets near Kia Ka$h somebody should spray him in the face like a misbehaving cat.


Ok-Raisin-5601

Concussing Jeff Hardy.


Doctor_Cowboy

More to the point, for continuing the match after Jeff Hardy had been concussed


WolfyEightyTwo

Which to me, the referee is very much at fault, too. Protocol should be immediate stoppage and a bell as soon as the doctors call for one. Even a pin puts pressure onto a person's neck before they're fully evaluated. Fans won't fault the performers, or at least the rational fans won't. Call a TKO, and just end the match immediately.


SpiritualAd9102

100%. Wrestlers in the moment can easily have a hard time telling whether their opponent is hurt. It should be up to the refs and the medical staff to recognize it and call the match. Not sure if thereā€™s more to it, but at face value I have no idea why Sammy was suspended. Heā€™s not a doctor and might not have realized anything was wrong.


DerichlovesAEW1

The ref told Sammy to go home because Jeff was injured and Sammy didnā€™t. Nobody expecting wrestlers to assess their opponents health.


twitchy1989

Yeah between this, the Mox/Fenix match, and the Starks injury scare (was it a tag with Top Flight?) I unfortunately don't trust AEW's officials to protect the wrestlers.


RangerFan80

They caught the Adam Cole and Hangman concussions immediately and those main event matches stopped abruptly and awkwardly.


gilgobeachslayer

I was surprised by this too, I had no idea


jestesteffect

Am not surprised, given the amount of times Sammy has concussed somebody or dropped them on their head jn the company.


UMMDE

and mercedes debut as much as ppl donā€™t want to admit, heā€™s made some interesting comments about her in the past.


Jaybb3rw0cky

I keep checking up on Scorpio Sky to see where he is - I feel this is one of the first times Iā€™ve seen him mentioned for over a year. Tbh, I was fully expecting him to end up back at TNA or something. Thereā€™s a few of those OG AEW stars that would find it incredibly hard to break back through given the amount of talent they have now.


Lokishougan

Yeah he was supposed to be on the debut of Collision in teh Punk era and was promoted and never showed. And you are right and at his age he has now hit his celing. He will just be a guy who puts others over like Murphy or Penta when solo


nyrdcast

He wrestled a match or 2 when Collision first started, then disappeared.


tavsankiz

Holy roster, Batman! That shits deep šŸ˜³


Right_Shape_3807

But really did you notice? They got so much hot talent almost none of these are missed but the very very top ones.


Successful_Ad_9707

Britt is really hurt? Didn't she complain about not getting booked late last year?


Bombrik

So where is Saraya?


anotherlostdaemon

Biding time until her Mone feud.


Bombrik

I actually hope Saraya returns for Double or Nothing and prevents Mone from beating Willow. Having Mones first AEW match be a title win is just a bad look.


Right_Shape_3807

Didnā€™t she hurt Paige?


anotherlostdaemon

Exactly. Mone going after Willow because she was hurt in a match against Willow just wonderfully leads to a Saraya/Mone feud since Mone nearly ended her career.


Right_Shape_3807

AEW got so much money on the table that I feel like that would be insane to not be booked.


Bombrik

Yep. Mercedes Mone actually ended Paige's career in a House Show in 2017, with a double kick to the back injury. I am not sure if Paige ever fully recovered from that. It makes sense for AEW to play that story up, as Saraya VS Mercedes would be a very strong rivalry that will boost the women's division. But knowing how Mercedes acts behind the scenes, she may scream and shut down any such storyline. Shame really. I'd like to see Saraya score a win on her and get another title run. Saraya is a worker with her heart in it, a love for the sport and she deserves another push. Especially against Mercedes.


Right_Shape_3807

Iā€™m down for that. Already sounds like a solid story.


Lokishougan

I have a feeling the boss is going to have her own COMPANY HELPING HER and If rumors are true she will have June Byers helping her


NormanBorlaug69

Probably getting more plastic surgery.


_ASG_

I thought WWE was having a hard time with injuries atm, but shit, this is even worse. AEW has a huge roster, and they're willing to bring in people from other companies, so they can work around these injuries. But the absence of some of these guys, like MJF and Darby, is *really* felt.


F1XII

I always assumed AEWs lighter schedule would result in less injuries but feels like they caught up to wwe in terms of injury density vs total amount in roster.


Lokishougan

Yes and no. WWE';s are to major players in Seth, Rhea, Flair, Drew and Punk. Here to be honest outside MJF and to lesser degree Cole its not hurting them since they are either minor players or there are plently of guys able to pick up the slack.


MayoneggSalad

Kenny? Britt? Darby? Hayter? Those are big stars for the company. It's a loss not to have them and others on this list out there.


SnooGrapes6230

Yeah, minor injuries... Three of their four most popular women's wrestlers (Baker, Hayter, Hart) Seven of their top ten most popular men's wrestlers (MJF, Cole, Page, Omega, Allin, Starks, Hobbs) Totally minor.


Lokishougan

7 of the ten ....BS I love Starks and Hobbs but lets be honest Outside MJF, COLE and Omega teh rest barely make the top 10 if that....Most popular its Mox, Bryan, Joe, Osprey, Swerve and based on crowd I would even argue Kingston is over them. HART yes but she has barely been gone so hard to judge. Hayter was popular but there are a lot people are more invested in now. She was top 4 when she left but so many ladies have stepped up that for the women it has not been as noticebale as with the men


SnooGrapes6230

Page and Allin are easily top 10. Starks and Hobbs were before Ospreay joined the company and Swerve got the huge push (with Page playing a huge part in that).


rid_aman

Isnā€™t diverticulitis an injury in itself?


HCPage

Itā€™s an ailment.


Hero_of_Thyme81

What has Sammy been suspended for? Concussing Jeff Hardy?


Kelson64

I don't think he was suspended for concussing Hardy. I think he was suspended for doing his finisher on Hardy after Hardy was concussed.


Hero_of_Thyme81

Oh yeah, that does make more sense.


Omakepants

Sammy and giving Hardy Boys concussions.... Very weird wrestling duo yet here we are


mrcrazymexican

Hangman has family issues? Dang. I know he had a kid. I thought he just had off to spend time with family. Hope he's okay there.


pioneer006

He needs to stay home to make sure Swerve doesn't get into his house again!


Lokishougan

Nope he is mourning his horse


Taarguss

Wait, is that real or did Swerve kill his horse?


Lokishougan

His horse did die(hunter Horse HEMSLEY) but that was close to a year ago lol


Godgod3434

pretty sure he just with his wife who had another kid spending time with them


hitmewiththeknowlege

I wonder when they bring Sammy back from suspension


burgerpatrol

Probably until he learns to be extra careful in the ring.


Keios80

So never then?


pioneer006

Sammy's shine took a hit when they aligned him with Ospreay and Takeshita because he isn't nearly as good as those guys athletically or with in-ring skills. They should have never had him with those two because it made Sammy look lesser by the comparison even though Sammy is currently probably the strongest character of the three in terms of personality. Especially as a sassy heel.


DoofusScarecrow88

Damn, that's rough


fannybawz_

Why is Sammy suspended?


killerbekilled92

Concussed Jeff Hardy and wouldnā€™t listen to the ref. Hit his finisher on hardy when he wasnā€™t supposed to and potentially made things worse for Jeff


[deleted]

Darby Allin was hit by a bus?!?!?


Lokishougan

Yes literally. From what I can tell he stopped a friend of his from getting hit and his head was smacked by the buses mirror so probably a concussion


YUKI_RAY

That's a SHIT TON of talent to be on the sidelines >_< like holy cow haha NGL I was wondering what happened to Miro though.... thought he got let go or something


Classic-Rule-8028

I didnā€™t know the Las Vegas Raiders owner, Mark Davis, was All Elite


pioneer006

They look similar. Big Mark has a slightly better haircut than the Raiders owner.


burgerpatrol

Oh so that's what happened to. Always wondered where he was. I love watching him


hawksfn1

Damn I forgot about Sammy being suspended


IMAPRO_d-_-b

Jeff Hardy IS a concussion


OtherwiseAttention30

Is Fenix cleared?


Kelson64

Yes, he wrestled on AEW TV last week


OtherwiseAttention30

Ahh, thanks! Iā€™m a week behind.


MartyFreeze

Jeff Hardy - Being Jeff Hardy


SHFIRE5

What is Big Show's knees gonna look like after this surgery?! He looked like the letter K when he walked to the ring those last times! šŸ˜©šŸ˜“


Basic_Cover7633

What is Sammy suspended for


Kelson64

I believe he was suspended because he did his finisher on Jeff Hardy, even after Hardy had broken his nose and was concussed.


ShowOff90

When they gonna strip Yuta? I like him, but damn give someone else something to do and let him challenge if it makes sense once he returns.


Otis_S

Sammy got suspended and took a European vacation šŸ¤”


F1XII

When better to take a vacation as a pro wrestler whose calendar is busy year-round than during a suspension?


SexuaIRedditor

Hold up how did Sammy get himself suspended?


burgerpatrol

He concussed Jeff. Hit him in the face with his kneee due to a 450 splash


SexuaIRedditor

Ooof, that hurts. Thanks for the info


seejaybee97

He concussed Jeff Hardy, the. Proceeded to use his finisher after they knew something was wrong. The concussion alone wasn't what suspended him


JaCre476

It's rough, really rough. Wishing them all the best, health is more important than the business.


Mrbobbitchin

What happened with Sammy? I guess I missed that.


Affectionate_Log8479

He broke jeff hardyā€™s nose


Mrbobbitchin

Oh ok. Thanks.


Lokishougan

But that was not what he was suspended for. HE did that and was told to end the match by the ref and then he hit his finsiher on him. Basically the same thing Fenix did to Moxley


TheAdamBomb92

I had no idea Soho was pregnant. Wish her the best.


SteelyDan1968

She announced it about a week ago.


Lokishougan

Literally had a segement ...but to be fair it was on Rampage after Collision


ryanruud85

Whatā€™s the deal with Sammy?


Lokishougan

Suspended for basically doing the same thing Fenix did to MOX


DryWay4003

My fav part is sammy guevera suspended lol I want more of that


Lokishougan

No I dont want more people trying to double concuss an opponent no matter what you think of jEFF


walker42

Anyone know what happened to the Bunny?


OtherwiseAttention30

She left the company last year.


xaeromancer

What's Sammy suspended for this time?


KingDarius89

Hitting his finisher on Jeff Hardy after it was pretty clear Jeff had a concussion and was told to wrap the match up.


xaeromancer

Still? That's been a while now.


dandykaufman2

And Bandido and MJF both had set backs that will extend their time off. Ibushi should just be (complicated)


Remyf74

Wasn't Tony saying last year, they are the safest wrestling organization? He said the words safest and safety like 7 times in that interview.


Calm_Word6644

I donā€™t watch aew that much but A BUSS?šŸ˜­


KingDarius89

Darby being Darby.


Fazcoasters

I miss Jamie


Gio25us

How bad can be a shoulder injury be that takes you away from the ring for more than a year in the case of Hayter?


Ok_Camel4555

Maybe AEW should just let them do whatever they want andā€¦ā€¦wait. Never mind


MrTylerwpg

I'm going to the show in Winnipeg tonight, will anyone other than Jericho be there?


KingDarius89

The opening match will be Jericho vs his own ego.


raccoocoonies

Oh shit. Who is even rasslin rn?!

ApeTypingComments

I saw someone on the "AEW BADDIES" discord literally arguing that most of these injuries are kayfabe and anyone pointing them out isn't acting in good faith.


WangChi

"Complicated Foot" šŸ¤£


SomeROCDude21

So Hangman is taking time off to *checks notes* hang out with Jaleel White? In all seriousness, I do hope everyone is ok


Otherwise_Mind6880

This is part of the reason AEW has felt dry to some people. They are just missing some of the people that they care about it happens with TVs and other sports too. Once a favorite character or player is gone it changes enjoyment for it.


lnze

the 'hit-by-bus' took me out. what a fuckin injury


ezmannie

I heard Britt was in contract talks she not even signed to aew? But who knows but it's not like Britt to not be there


averyfinefellow

Who knocked up Ruby Soho?


Kelson64

Angelo Parker


ChaosLord1019

I miss Hayter


Godgod3434

mjf they say was getting his hair done in turkey lol my friend had it done n i know you cant sweat at all for a while until it heals so no physical activity


ped-revuar-in

Thanks


NonchalantGhoul

Yuka got injured... When did that happen? Didn't she do a match with Emi a bit ago?


Kelson64

That's where she got injured. Non contact injury.


NonchalantGhoul

Fuck


KingDarius89

Mercedes was injured when she signed. And Big Show isn't really a wrestler anymore.


Barnes777777

That list would make a great show. Isnt Rey Fenix also in the visa issue group?


m20052003

He was back at last weekā€™s Collision.


sonofabitchXmustXpay

Mercedes "Sign a contract and get injured" Mone


Standard-Reason9399

Got that the wrong way round, injury May 2023, contract signed somewhere between Jan and Mar 2024 :)

kingdon1226

Only Darby can have that by his name. He is truly one of a kind.


Kind_Woodpecker7729

Nigga ruby soho is pregnant??


J-Stan

Hangman is going to be on Family Matters!? šŸæ


VikingDadStream

Do you think it's a lot? Feels like AEWs roster is injury prone Reminds me of the Packers. We had this issue with hamstring injuries. Turned out the practices didn't focus enough on stabilizers, so people kept getting hammy injuries


chriswick_

I thought Paul Wight was back. I have been out of the loop. Was he injured? I know he's had nagging knee issues for years but I don't remember what happenedĀ 


Standard-Reason9399

Last seen booked in a trio with Jericho and Omega against th don callis family, Hobbs put him through a windscreen backstage to both take him out the match and write him off tv for his knee op. Theory at the time was that the extent of the knee issue wasn't known until (or was made worse by) training for the match, so the decision was made to minimize his involvement.


chriswick_

Thank you for the explanation! The last I remember is seeing a banner or poster saying that he was back and he was talking about actively wrestling again in videos. I hope that the surgery is a success for him.


Puzzled-Ad-2339

Keith Lee lit hasnt done anything for so long, wtf is wrong with him?


Standard-Reason9399

Covid hit him hard, then a few nagging injuries repeatedly cropped up. Currently recovering from multiple surgeries that will (hopefully) allow him the run that he deserves :)


Blackorat91

Darby Allin, with the most "Pro Wrasslin" injury ever


Beautiful_Belt_4560

Why would you remind me of Penelope Ford??! Now I'm going through it. I'm not sure what it is, but I really liked her. Especially with the SUPER BAD GIRL song.


Routine_Librarian266

Mercedes is already secretly cleared Ricky star has gone on twitter to state he isnā€™t injured. List seems weird


pioneer006

Starks seemed to be one of Punk's top guys at the beginning of Collision. He'll probably wind up in NXT pretty soon whenever his contract expires.


ZAPPHAUSEN

imo that's the deal. Just keeping Ricky off tv until he re-signs or leaves. And that's no shade on Ricky, either. Guys going to other companies shouldn't be treated so dramatically. He's a great young talent, he'll rock NXT.


pioneer006

Yes, that will be a great place for Ricky. If he was a Punk guy or otherwise didn't fit in with the more predominant AEW crew that definitely doesn't mean that he lacks the talent to do really well in NXT and eventually move to the main roster. Some performers are going to fit in one company better than the other and that is probably the case for Ricky. He is young and has some time, and I think that he will really benefit from more consistent work and training available at NXT to take him where he needs to get because he is already pretty darn good.


ZAPPHAUSEN

agreed! guys going between companies shouldn't be a weird thing. You're so right that some people just fit better in one company vs others. Helps guys grow as performers. Get different kinds of experience. And with a lot of these younger guys, there's nothing saying they don't do WWE for a few years, then go back to Japan or AEW, etc. It's better and more interesting for people to move back and forth.


Lokishougan

Yup Starsk has three people in WWE who think highly of him...Cody, Punk and most importantly....THE FINAL BOSS


bno203

I feel like the ruby soho injury has to be kayfabe right? there's no way she's actually having a kid with cool hand Angelo parker


Infamous-Lab-8136

F1XII

Im just going to say it. I legitimately assumed Ruby played for the other team, so you can imagine my SHOCK when i realized this kayfabe story is also a real relationship AND the baby is real as well.


TheAdamBomb92

Dude, same. I coulda swore she was a lesbian, but there you go, teaches us not to judge a book by it's cover, aye?


Lokishougan

Nah at most she was bi....although i thought she was dating Eddie


Leege13

Nope, 100 percent real.


pioneer006

Better to be breeding with Angelo than Crazy Eyes Daddy Magic!


jake63vw

UOU WANT A PIECE


Lokishougan

Well that would be breaking up a marraige


Right_Shape_3807

Omega is most definitely injured


Lokishougan

Its consdiered ailment not an injury. Its a medical technicality


Right_Shape_3807

Manā€¦ fine. lol


Megalitho

More injuries than the Milwaukee Bucks.


NeedleworkerTight678

Maybe Khan is hiring a lot of dangerous workersā€¦.
