Cash Wheeler appeared to suffer a nasty injury during the match as the camera caught him drenched in his own blood. It was unfortunate, because this match was great up until the shortened ending.
AEW Women's Champion Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., bragged about her victory over Nyla Rose despite injuring her arm. Still, she was hurt, and so was Reba. So they needed another person to watch her back. The question is, who would that be?
