AEW Star Pulled From Upcoming Event Due To Injury
A popular AEW star is injured.
2024 has been a good year for Willow Nightingale as the former TBS Champion’s star has shone brighter than ever. Nightingale has continued to impress in AEW and has risen to become one of the company’s popular female talents.
Meanwhile, Nightingale has also starred elsewhere, enjoying a short run as the CMLL Women’s World Title. But unfortunately, her progress has hit a speed bump.
Nightingale had been due to take part in CMLL’s upcoming shows in Arena Mexico, but it’s been announced she suffered a concussion during the Women’s Grand Prix on October 25th.
You can find the full statement from CMLL below.
“We regret to inform our loyal fans that AEW superstar, Willow Nightingale, will not be able to participate in Sabado de Arena Coliseo and Domingo Familiar in Arena Mexico as planned due to a concussion suffered during her participation in the Women’s Grand Prix. In line with the concussion protocols established for both CMLL and AEW, Willow must abstain from both dates to ensure her well-being and full recovery.
For tonight’s event at El Embudo de Peru 77 (Arena Coliseo), CMLL World Champion Zeuxis will take Willow’s place, while tomorrow at Arena Mexico, CMLL Women’s Universal Champion 2024 Persephone will take her place in the ring.
We thank all our fans for their understanding and we assure you that these two champions will provide the show and quality that characterizes our wrestling. See you at Arena Coliseo and Arena Mexico to enjoy the best wrestling in the world!”
