Injuries are going to happen in wrestling, no matter the style, whether it’s a throwback technical style or high flying, with wrestlers taking wild spots in and out of the ring.
AEW has been criticized for its style of wrestling, as guys are more willing to take chances as a way to hopefully stand out among the pack of talented wrestlers.
Bandido experienced what it’s like to be out of the ring with an injury as he was sidelined while working a match that aired in June on a Rampage episode in a loss to Konosuke Takeshita.
When he suffered a left wrist injury, he was given a first diagnosis of a triangular fibrocartilage complex injury. Still, he wanted to get a second opinion before having the surgery in July.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that while Bandido pulled out of a recent independent show, he should be back in AEW relatively soon.
Meltzer wrote, “Rey Fenix and Bandido both had to pull out of a show on Masked Republic show on 10/30. Fenix has pulled out of all bookings over the next few weeks. Bandido should be back relatively soon.”
