AEW Star Not Medically Cleared To Compete (AEW News)
AEW's Juice Robinson replaced on Collision by Billy Gunn.
In some unfortunate news, AEW's Juice Robinson is not currently medically cleared for in-ring action.
Last night's AEW Collision saw Excalibur announce that Juice is out of action, though no further details were given in terms of the specifics of this issue or how long the 36-year-old is expected to be on the sidelines for. As a result, Robinson's Bang Bang Gang cohort Austin Gunn teamed with Billy Gunn on Collision in a loss to Konosuke Takeshita and Kyle Fletcher.
It's been a tough few years for Juice Robinson, with him missing the first six months of last year due to a broken fibula, and he'd previously dealt with back issues before that.
As for the Bang Bang Gang, this latest development leaves the faction even more depleted right now. De facto leader Jay White has been out of action since April due to a broken hand, has also undergone shoulder surgery, and Switchblade is not expected back on TV any time soon; Colten Gunn has been absent since July after suffering a knee injury; and latest recruit Ace Austin missed this past week's Dynamite and Collision tapings due to travel issues. So, as of this writing, the only fit and healthy members of the Bang Bang Gang are Ace Austin and Austin Gunn.
To circle back to Juice Robinson, Rock Hard last wrestled at AEW Worlds End last month, where he and Austin Gunn came up short as they looked to dethrone FTR for the AEW Tag Team Titles in a street fight.
