AEW Star Suffers "Freak Accident", Set To Miss Time
AEW wrestler details the unfortunate situation that looks set to leave him injured for a while.
Fuego Del Sol will be out of AEW action for a while, having suffered what he describes as a "freak accident" last weekend.
Fuego was wrestling for indie group Supreme Pro Wrestling last Sunday, facing Guapo Lupe and Daniel Torch in a three-way. As outlined on Twitter, the 2021 AEW signee got hurt when one of his opponents fell on his foot after a dropkick. Fuego thought he had broken something, feeling a "sharp pain shoot up" his foot, realising he was struggling to put weight on it.
The 27-year-old was able to finish the match. By the time he got to the back, however, things had "swollen up pretty bad." After getting his foot X-rayed, Fuego learned that he had suffered a dislocation, leaving him facing a five-to-six-week recovery time - provided there is no ligament damage.
If there is ligament damage, Fuego could be out for around three months.
