During the inaugural event of this week’s special AEW Summer Blockbuster edition of AEW Dynamite and Collision, at the live event from Portland, Oregon, commentators Excalibur, Taz and Ian Riccaboni brought attention to “The Aerial Assassin” Will Ospreay’s nosebleed. They even theorized that the mishap could have transpired prior to the match initiation owing to its early visibility.
Taz commented that a routine hold or a ground-based counteraction during the preliminary wrestling phases might have caused the nose injury. Ospreay, throughout the match, kept inspecting his nose which was staining his hands and wrist tape red — nonetheless, his momentum never diminished.
Komander was initially on the roster for a coveted trios match at Wednesday’s AEW Summer Blockbuster special, but his expected participation was halted due to an authentic injury.
The alteration was verified shortly after a backstage segment live on AEW, denoted as “earlier in the day”, showcased The Hurt Syndicate assaulting Komander and ripping off his mask. In the segment, Komander was seen clutching his knee with the narrators later authenticating that he wasn’t medically fit to participate.
Mascara Dorada stepped in for Komander and allied with “Speedball” Mike Bailey and Kevin Knight against MJF, Bobby Lashley, and Shelton Benjamin. The Hurt Syndicate emerged victorious, with MJF unmasking Dorada after the match to amplify the buildup to his imminent face-off with Mistico at the forthcoming AEW Grand Slam: Mexico next Wednesday.
As of now, details regarding Komander’s injury, its cause, and its effect on his chances of competing at Arena Mexico are unclear. Komander’s most recent appearance was at the previous week’s AEW Fyter Fest event in Denver, where he featured in a trios match.
