AEW star Skye Blue has seemingly sustained a legitimate injury during her match tonight on Collision. It forced the promotion to call off the match.

Last week on the Saturday show, following her win over Harley Cameron, Skye called out Hikaru Shida, as she wanted to face her one-on-one. That match finally took place tonight.

It was a close bout from the start, but despite the excitement around the match, it ended abruptly. After Shida went for a diving crossbody from the middle ropes, she landed on Skye Blue. However, following the bump she took, the Chicago native landed hard on the ankle area, and they immediately called for the medical staff.

AEW went on a commercial break during that time, but the camera's focus remained on Hikaru Shida, as she even picked up her jacket and walked backstage. Skye Blue was not shown at all on-screen since the incident.

Moments later, the Japanese star came out with a referee, and her hand was raised as the match was called off. She was awarded the victory, and her opponent was unable to compete.

We at Sportskeeda hope for a smooth recovery for the AEW star.
