AJ Styles suffered an injury during a live event and fans believe that he would have fared better in AEW than WWE.
On December 29th, during a special WWE Holiday Tour live event, The Phenomenal One teamed up with his fellow members of The O.C. Karl Anderson and Mia Yim to take on Damian Priest, Finn Balor, and Rhea Ripley of The Judgment Day. During the match, Styles suffered a ankle injury and was unable to compete.
The wrestling world shared their support for AJ Styles and wished him a speedy recovery.
Few fans compared WWE to AEW, claiming that the Jacksonville-based Promotion is a much safer place to work.
The above tweets received a lot of heat from neutral fans. Some questioned the need to compare the two companies at the expense of the two-time WWE Champion.
The majority of the wrestling world ridiculed AEW fans, claiming that there are hardly any referee stoppages in AEW as the performers don't tend to follow protocol and matches continue no matter the circumstances.
People recalled the time when Matt Hardy fell hard on concrete from the top of a forklift during his match against Sammy Guevara. Despite being wobbly and struggling to stand, the match was allowed to continue.
Multiple AEW wrestlers suffered an injury in 2022
2022 was an eventful year for professional wrestling in both a positive and a negative sense. As far as AEW goes, the promotion has had a lot of matches that the wrestling world has praised but at the same time, there have been several injuries as well.
A few notable injuries were that of CM Punk, who suffered two separate injuries, a leg, and an arm injury. Adam Cole was concussed during the Forbidden Door pay-per-view and has still not been cleared to return to wrestle. Hangman Adam Page was concussed during his title match against Jon Moxley and was unresponsive thus forcing the match to abruptly come to an end.
Adam Page has still not been cleared by the doctors but is expected to be cleared by January 11th and if so, he will get his rematch against Jon Moxley on the same night.
Do you think Page should be cleared and should wrestle soon or would you want him to take more time off and rest well? Let us know in the comments section below.
