AEWs April 9 episode of Dynamite didnt just bring fallout from Dynastyit brought an unfortunate real-life injury that may sideline one of the companys most explosive stars.
During his hard-hitting match against Swerve Strickland in Baltimore, The Bastard PAC appeared to suffer a legit injury to his right foot or ankle. The moment came after Swerve launched PAC into the corner with a stiff buckle bomb. PAC immediately grabbed at his lower leg and rolled out of the ring, clearly in pain.
According to both PWInsider and F4WOnline, medical personnel rushed to ringside and checked on PAC for several moments. While he did make it back into the ring, it was only long enough to take a quick kick and a Swerve Stomp, allowing Strickland to pick up a fast victory. The match was cut short and PAC had to be helped to the back by AEW officials.
This was a major shift in the match that AEW had billed as a continuation of Swerves war with the Death Riders. Instead, it became a sobering reminder of just how dangerous the ring can beeven for veterans like PAC.
AEW has yet to confirm the severity of PACs injury, but the visual of him limping to the back and clutching his ankle mid-match has fans worried. The Death Riders just gained momentum at Dynasty, but this setback could have major implications for their future storyline direction.
How serious do you think PACs injury is? Should AEW rebook the story moving forward or keep the Death Riders strong with a new direction? Share your thoughts below.
