AEW Injury Tracker

 All Elite Wrestling is known for it's rough and fast paced style which can be seen as a plus but can also be an environment where injuries can happen at a more frequent basis. As is the case in professional wrestling, never say never!

Check out our AEW injury tracker below to let fans know who is currently hurt, out of action and/or working with an injury!  We will also update as developments are made in the status of these wrestlers regarding getting back on television, expected time out, etc. 

We've also added a new section showcasing those who have recently made returns to television after injury. 

COMPETITORS OFF AEW TV CURRENTLY:

• Adam Cole: Announced on the September 27th, 2023 edition of AEW Dynamite that he broke his ankle in three places and will need surgery. He has been appearing on AEW TV alongside The Undisputed Kingdom members and is still in a walking boot. *UPDATE*: Was seen on Twitch with Kenny Omega without the walking boot. Could be about to return to action very soon! *UPDATE*
• Adam Page: Currently off television due to a family matter.
• Anthony Henry: Henry is out with a Broken Jaw. He announced he broke his jaw at a Deadlock Pro Wrestling (DPW) event back on March 10th. Henry said in a Tweet on 3/13, he is expected to miss 8 weeks of action. *UPDATE* Anthony Henry was released from AEW on April 1st, 2024 *UPDATE*
• Bandido: Announced he had surgery for a broken wrist that he suffered in a match against Konosuke Takeshita on the AEW Rampage taping on June 14th, 2023. Provided last update on December 1st, saying he doesn't know how long he will be out of action because he had to have another surgery on his wrist after the first one didn't work.
• Bryan Danielson: Following his match of the year candidate versus Will Ospreay at AEW Dynasty, Danielson has been on the shelf. This comes after Danielson took a botched Storm Driver '91 from Ospreay. The move was so brutal looking that Ospreay immediately retired using the maneuver at the AEW Dynasty post-show media scrum, feeling remorse for the injury scare. He is taking time off right now after a grueling year that saw him overcome several injuries including a broken arm and a broken orbital bone. No word yet on when he will be back in action. Word is he is NOT injured but that is the storyline reason given for his time off.
• The Blade: Currently has a lower back injury. Other details aren't specified. 
• Chuck Taylor: Had an injured ankle. Although he made a return on 4/27 to face former partner Trent Baretta in a Parking Lot Fight, following the fight, it was announced that Taylor would not be able to return due to injuries suffered in the match. No word on if this was just storyline or if he is legitimately unable to continue his career.**UPDATE: 5/10/24: Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that the injury is a legitimate one and that Taylor's career may as well be over for good. Fightful Select added that Taylor has been training to become a Coach/Producer for months now and will likely step into that sort of role following the injuries. 
• Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D.: On December 28th during the Media Call for AEW Worlds End 2023 it was announced Baker was on the injured list. She was backstage visiting at the December 27th AEW Dynamite event in Orlando, Florida. Tony Khan said at a panel at SXSW that she could be returning to action soon. She is out due to back and neck injuries sustained during her run as AEW Women's World Champion in 2021. 
• Dralistico: Currently off television due to visa issues. 
• CJ Perry: Inactive. CJ is out due to an infection in her finger. There is no estimated time to return as of now. She also recently divorced Miro so could be taking time off due to that as well.

UPDATE 5/2/24: Jeff Hardy is reportedly ready to return to the ring. No word yet on when he will be back. He may be about to depart the company like Matt Hardy did but AEW may have added time to his contract due to the time he spent away from the company due to his DUI case and rehab stint and injury time off.
