This week’s AEW Dynamite served as the go-home show for the Double or Nothing pay-per-view on Saturday. And unfortunately for the company, by the end fo the night a few of its top stars were reportedly banged up with injuries. According to Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Radio, Britt Baker, Rey Fenix and Matt Jackson all suffered injuries of varying degrees on Wednesday night that could affect their status for Saturday’s show.

Fenix was the first to get hurt when he hit a dive off the top rope to a crowd of four wrestlers outside of the ring. Unfortunately he wound up landing short of the group and wound up hitting the ground with his hip. He’s reportedly “banged up,” but is expected to be healthy enough to take part in Saturday’s Casino Ladder Match.
Holy shit, I hope Rey Fenix is alright.

Baker, who took part in a tag team match involving Nyla Rose, Hikaru Shida and Kris Statlander, reportedly received the worst injury of the three. Early in the match the two babyfaces hoisted up Rose and dropped her onto Baker, who was seated in one of the corners. Unfortunately Rose landed on Baker’s knee. According to Alvarez, AEW officials think the injury “is probably bad” and could keep her out of action for a while
