AEW Star In Leg Cast After Match Stopped
After a match was called off due to an apparent injury, one AEW star has now been spotted in a leg cast as they are set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
On the July 20th episode of Collision, Skye Blue took on Hikaru Shida, but the match came to a quick and unfortunate end.
During the bout, Shida hit a crossbody from the ring apron to the floor, but as she landed on Blue, the latter’s ankle appeared to buckle underneath her. After the star was checked by the referee, the match was waved off, and she was helped backstage by officials.
Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer reported that “Early word is Skye Blue might have broken her ankle on Collision.” And now Blue’s partner, fellow AEW star Kyle Fletcher took to social media to share a photo of her wearing a cast on her leg.
we got her home everyone, doctor Kyle on the clock

Tony Khan Loses AEW Star Until 2025
The injury to Skye Blue came just hours after Tony Khan announced that Dalton Castle would be out of action for at least the remainder of 2024.
Castle suffered the injury on the July 13th episode of Collision after being knocked out during a match with Roderick Strong. The bout was taped three days earlier with the winner going on to challenge Mark Briscoe for the ROH World Championship at Death Before Dishonor on July 26th.
