Rey Fenix Worked AEW Dynamite Match Injured – The opening match of this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, where Rey Fenix defended his International Title against Jeff Jarrett, almost didn’t happen due to concerns about Fenix’s medical clearance. Fortunately, Fenix was ultimately cleared to compete, and the match proceeded as planned.
During the match, there appeared to be moments of concern regarding Fenix’s well-being, but it’s been reported that he is okay despite any initial worries. Despite these concerns, Fenix successfully defended his International Title against Jarrett.
Additionally, it was revealed that Fenix will defend his International Title against Nick Jackson in the next week’s episode of Dynamite. However, it’s worth noting that Nick Jackson was reportedly not prepared to wrestle on Dynamite in the originally scheduled match against Brian Cage, as he didn’t have his ring gear at the time.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Bryan Alvarez discussed the situation:
Alvarez: “Well, the show opened up with what appeared to be another injury. It was Fenix versus Jeff Jarrett for the international title. And everything is going along fine. He’s running wild. He’s taken out everybody one at a time. It’s almost a comedy routine as he takes out everybody at the beginning and then they go to commercial and during the break, he gets sent over the barricade and Jarrett grabs him and suplexes him from the audience over the barricade onto the black mat. And something went wrong with this suplex because Fenix landed on his side, like right on his hip. And he immediately first sold his back. Then he grabbed his hip and then he grabbed his knee. Jarrett goes to get him up, and he ain’t getting up. They kind of stalled for time because it was during a break. And finally, he was able to throw Fenix into the ring. Fenix is limping around, and they kept the match going. But, I mean, he was hurting and he’s grabbing his knee and he’s limping and probably about two, three minutes later, he’s kind of feeling a little bit better. So now he’s doing his springboards and everything like that. And finally, in the end, they did a couple of near-falls, a low blow by Jarrett. Fenix kicked out of that. He hit the stroke. Fenix got his feet on the ropes. And then finally, Jarrett goes for the figure four Fenix cradles him and pins him. Fenix went to the back and he was trying not to sell it, but it was clear that he was hurting. But apparently the word is he’s all right. Although last week when he did that deal with Moxley, he hurt himself on the same dive that Moxley got hurt on. Like he landed with his tailbone on Moxley’s head or something like that, so his back was all messed up from that same spot that Moxley got hurt in. And then here he took the suplex, landed sideways. So this dude, he’s banged up bad, but he’s still going out there and working.”
Meltzer: “They had to change the show around. Okay. So the Fenix match almost didn’t happen because of the injury that you talked about. Fenix was not cleared, or I should say it was up in the air whether he would be cleared.”
Alvarez: “He had not been cleared yet.”
Meltzer: “He had not been cleared. He did get cleared to wrestle in this match, but it was not until late afternoon. So they had put together a show without him, and then they had to change it to put the match with Jarrett on, which was basically a late addition to the show. So, then Moxley wasn’t cleared due to the concussion. And so anyway, yeah, a lot of stuff, a lot of planned stuff, must have changed because of all that.”
Alvarez: “Well, they added this match in the afternoon and Nick and his hodgepodge.”
