A gruesome scene stopped the tag team match Bringing out Stephen Borden and Darby Allin against Kevin Knight and Kyle Fletcher At AEW All Out 2026, Borden and Knight tried to land from opposite turnbuckles. They seemed destined to meet in mid-air and Borden crashed to the mat and had to be stretchered out of the ring.
Jeff Jarrett, a longtime associate of Borden’s father, Sting; “My World” commented on the injury. He said he’s known Borden throughout the younger star’s life, even working TNA around Borden’s high school football games. He said the star is super athletic, but sometimes things just happen in the ring.
“He’s a college athlete, born and raised and followed this business,” Jarrett said. “Never thought he’d get into it, but he’s obviously, by osmosis, watched his dad his whole life, and so he’s a good athlete. But in the end, man, he made one hell of a risky move… Bryce (Howard), Dr. Sampson, the whole community, the truck, the way it was done. Sudden internal injuries… I was backstage when they wheeled him away (on a stretcher). It’s a terrible feeling when you’re tied to someone you’re never quite ready for.
Jarrett said Borden is like “Elvis’ kid” with “huge shoes to fill.” He noted that the pay-per-view didn’t happen until 17 days later Borden’s AEW Dynamite debutand the young star just needs to keep repeating games.
