AEW Match Stopped
Doctor stops AEW tag team match after Steven Borden suffers head injury.
Anonymous
Steven Borden, Sting’s son, appeared to suffer a head injury during his AEW pay-per-view debut at All Out on Sept. 26, when he collided with Kevin Knight during a high-flying spot and landed hard. The referee and ringside doctor stopped the tag-team match as medical staff checked on Borden; no update on his condition was immediately available. Knight and Kyle Fletcher were declared winners by doctor stoppage and earned a shot at the AEW World Tag Team Championship, while Darby Allin and Borden’s match was left unfinished.
Key Points
1
Before the collision, Borden went for a Stinger Splash, flew over the top rope to the floor and was sent into the barricade; Darby Allin then hit an outside dive before Kevin Knight took Allin out with a jumping knee strike.
2
PW Torch reported that Borden stopped moving after the landing and that his arm appeared to stiffen in what the article described as a “fencing pose”; the broadcast camera cut away while medics tended to him.
3
The collision was part of a coast-to-coast spot, with Borden and Knight launching from opposite sides of the ring; Cageside Seats reported that Borden jumped earlier than Knight and struck the back of his head on the landing.
4
PW Torch described the crowd standing and applauding as Borden was tended to, with the arena otherwise eerily quiet for several minutes.
