Former World Champion Suffers Broken Ankle, Out For Year

It can happen to anyone. You have all kinds of wrestlers on any given roster and unfortunately some of them are going to get hurt at one point or another. There is no way around it and some of the injuries are a lot worse than others. Unfortunately it seems that someone has been hurt again and now it is going to be a long time before we see him in in the ring again.

According to Dave Meltzer, Sami Callihan suffered a broken ankle at this weekend’s Impact Wrestling taping and will be out of action until spring 2022. There is no word on how Callihan broke his ankle at the taping or what will be done to make up for his absence. Callihan is a former Impact Wrestling World Champion and teamed with Eddie Edwards in a losing effort against Moose and W. Morrissey at Victory Road over the weekend.

Sami Callihan suffered a broken ankle Saturday at the Impact tapings and had surgery. Looks to be out until spring 2022.

Callihan is a big loss for Impact Wrestling. Check out what he has done in the company:

Opinion: That’s always horrible to see as Callihan has been doing some rather nice things in the last few months. He is one of the people you can throw into almost any spot you need and get something out of him. I’m not sure who is going to be elevated up to take Callihan’s spot and that could make for some different paths. Callihan is rather good and hopefully he is back in the ring sooner rather than later.

What do you think of Callihan? Who should move into his spot in Impact Wrestling? Let us know in the comments below.
