AEW Battle of the Belts 2 on Saturday night featured Thunder Rosa retaining the AEW Women’s Championship, Jonathan Gresham retaining the ROH World Title over Dalton Castle, and more. Fightful Select has learned some notes from the show.
Gresham had to be checked out for a concussion following his match, but he wasn’t immediately cleared and there’s no word yet on his status. It happened on the gutwrench sequence early in the match.
Gresham issued a statement in a video published by PROGRESS Wrestling:
“Hello everyone. Unfortunately, I will not be able to make it to England this weekend for the Sunday and Monday events due to an injury. I have not been cleared to compete. So I do want to apologize to PROGRESS and the fans for not making it this weekend. I really wanted to, but my health comes first and I have to take a little time off. Once I’m cleared, I’ll definitely be back.”
Regrettably, due to injury, Jonathan Gresham is not medically cleared to make the trip to the UK this weekend. Replacements will be named shortly for both #AtlasWeekend events. Our champion WILL be back in action at Chapter 134 on Sunday May 15th. pic.twitter.com/pxGNAIs3YP

It’s unknown whether Dalton Castle has signed with the company as of yet. In the short-term future, Satnam Singh is to continue appearing on AEW programming following his debut this past Wednesday night on Dynamite.
Thunder Rosa vs. Nyla Rose wasn’t planned to be a long-term feud and the opponent for Rosa for Double or Nothing is still unknown, but it won’t be Rose.
Ethan Page was required six stitches to close up the wound that he suffered.
