D'Oh! AEW Match Heavily Edited For TV When One Wrestler Was Knocked Unconscious

That was bad. Wrestling is a physical sport and there is always the chance that something bad can happen. While the wrestlers can have as much experience and training as they can offer, there is always the chance that something goes wrong in the ring. That was the case again last week in a match that wound up having to be heavily edited for television due to the situation.

Last weekend on AEW Collision, Roderick Strong defeated Dalton Castle to become the new #1 contender to the Ring Of Honor World Title. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Castle was knocked unconscious by a flying knee during the match. As a result, the television version of the match was edited, as the version that took place in the arena “was a complete mess”. There is nothing to suggest that Castle will miss any time as a result.

It didn’t quite work. Check out the match, plus the two on better nights:

Opinion: This is something that just happens every so often and there is really no way around it. At the end of the day, Castle just got caught with a jumping knee to the face on a fluke. There is only so much that can be done to avoid that kind of thing as it was little more than just an accident. Thankfully nothing seems to be serious and Castle seems to be ok overall.
