That’s Serious: AEW Star Currently Out Of Action With Back Injury, Needed Wheelchair
It’s a violent sport. There are all kinds of ways a wrestler can get hurt in the ring, but if they can get through a match, the trick is to hide their injuries as well as possible. That is one of the hardest parts, but it can make the stories about how the wrestlers made it work all the more impressive. That was the situation again recently, as an AEW star was a lot more injured during a match than she let on.
