Big Ouch: Another AEW Injury May Lead To Major Company Change

That could be a big change. AEW has done quite a bit in its first three years of existence and a lot of that has been due to the signature style that they work. The company presents a combination of high speed and hard hitting matches between a variety of wrestlers. That can create some exciting matches but it might also be causing some issues, some of which might be addressed soon.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Adam Cole suffered a very serious concussion at Forbidden Door, which led to the awkward finish to the IWGP Title match. This is the latest in a series of injuries in AEW and should AEW President Tony Khan see it as a result of the company’s style, he may limit the amount of dangerous spots, perhaps even limiting them to pay per view. There is no word on if Khan will do so, or if he will see the injuries as a mere run of bad luck.

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that AEW might want to consider slowing down on anyway, as the fast paced offense and hard hitting spots can start to wear off after a bit. If the fans are only going to react to big things, it is going to get more and more dangerous as more and more needs to be done to make the fans interested. That may need to be toned down and that is not a bad thing.

What do you think of the possible changes? What does AEW need to change? Let us know in the comments below.
