Tony Khan gives positive update on Stephen Borden after Borden was injured AEW All out!.
Borden teamed up with Darby Allyn on Saturday night and the duo took on the team of Kyle Fletcher and Kevin Knight for a #1 contender’s match for the AEW titles. During the meeting, Borden tackled Knight mid-airand the first one seemed to have been knocked out. Khan, at a news conference after the screening, said Borden was awake and conscious and that the CT scan gave him the thumbs up for his health.
“I wanted to get down to business and say I have a great update. Fortunately, Steven Borden was awake and responsive at the hospital and he had a CT scan and all the tests were fine. All good results so far. We hope Steven will be able to fly home to his family tomorrow. So that’s great news that will go beyond pay.
An AEW executive stated, without naming names, that many wrestlers suffered knocks and injuries from leaving All Out, noting that less talent than usual would be speaking after the show.
“We’ve had a lot of wrestlers hit, a lot of injuries, and with a lot of wrestlers being checked out by doctors right now, there won’t be as many guests tonight (for the suppressor),” he added.
At All Out, the tag team match was stopped and Aline was concerned about the health of her tag team partner. The referee canceled the match and Knight and Fletcher were declared the winners. The match was Borden’s first for AEW, and while it ended in injury, the latest updates on his health are encouraging.
