Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite was loaded as it served as the fallout edition from the Dynasty pay-per-view event.
Matches that took place included IWGP World Champion Jon Moxley defending against Powerhouse Hobbs, AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland vs. Kyle Fletcher in a title eliminator, Anna Jay vs. Mina Shirakawa, Willow Nightingale TBS Championship celebration, and more.
Coming out of the show, people talked about the angle where The Elite laid out AEW President Tony Khan. However, there was an injury on the show.
On Thursday’s Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez reported that Hobbs sustained a legitimate knee injury.
“I want to start by wishing the best to [Powerhouse] Hobbs. If you watched the show last night, that was not a worked knee injury. He went for a high cross or something and smashed into the turnbuckles and injured his knee. He could barely walk, and he hopped his way back into the ring, hopped into like two spots, and got choked out. There was more they were going to do. So, if you note, there was going to be an overrun…The Hobbs match was obviously supposed to go longer than it did. We don’t know the extent of his knee injury yet, except that it is real. Hopefully, it is not bad. All the best to Hobbs as he figures out this knee injury.”
We wish him a speedy recovery.
