Injuries will occur regardless of the style or company they are in. For one AEW star, they learned the hard way. Fortunately, the injury will not keep this wrestler out of the ring.
Brian Cage signed with the AEW in 2020. His contract was set to expire in 2022, but the company exercised his option year. Cage was surprised that AEW did this at the time, as he hadn’t been on TV in months. He signed a new deal last year, which will keep him under contract for several years. He has been used in both AEW and ROH television.
On Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite, Cage teamed with Lance Archer and Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona) to lose to Adam Copeland, Dustin Rhodes, Orange Cassidy, and Preston Vance.
He is scheduled to wrestle on Saturday’s AEW Collision, where he will team with Kaun and Toa to defend the ROH Six-Man Tag Team Championships against Lance Archer and The Righteous.
He’s been doing this with a torn lat. He revealed the injury news in the following Instagram post:
“Got my shit in, did my version of OC in the pocket, or the “Al Bundy Suplex” and did it all with a torn lat. Who’s a machine?????? This guy,” wrote Cage.
