Folks, once again, AEW has a bit of a situation on its hands. Some might call it bad luck. I call it a “Crisis on Infinite Botches!” Two wrestlers, not one, but two—yes, that’s double the KO power—were knocked out at last night’s ROH tapings. We’re talking about chaos, people, pure chaos.
First up in the saga of “Oops, I Did It Again” was The Spanish God himself, Sammy Guevara, who squared off against Serpentico. Now, Serpentico is known for flying around like a discount superhero, but this time, his aerial antics went off the rails. Mid-match, he went for a diving move, while Guevara, bless his optimistic heart, thought he could catch him with a Cutter. Except, guess what? The only thing he caught was Serpentico’s full-body landing on his face. Boom, lights out. Knockout city, folks. Referee Bryce Remsberg had no choice but to stop the match and call it in Serpentico’s favor—because you can’t win a match if you’re seeing stars and birdies. Sammy got the VIP exit: a stretcher ride. Not exactly what you’d call a “glory run,” huh?
As usual, wrestling guru Dave Meltzer chimed in on X (formerly known as Twitter, for the sane out there) when fans bombarded him with “Hey Dave, you heard anything?” Meltzer’s response? “Believed to be a concussion but not confirmed.” Translation: It’s bad. Real bad. Given that Guevara just returned from another injury post-WrestleDream 2023, it’s looking like he might need some extra time to cool off before the next AEW pay-per-view.
But wait, there’s more! As if one KO wasn’t enough, we got another one in the form of Kelley Madan, who was tangoing with Lady Frost. And let’s just say, Lady Frost lived up to her name by freezing Madan’s lights out with a spinning dive that ended with her legs landing squarely on Madan’s head. Another stretcher, folks. Same night, same outcome. You can’t make this stuff up!
AEW might want to invest in some bubble wrap at this point because whatever the injury bug is, it’s running wild.
