On the latest set of tapings for AEW Dark and Dark: Elevation, Action Andretti was the subject of an injury scare.
The star was taking part in a match against Slim J when he appeared to suffer a head injury. The bout was stopped by the referee and a doctor came to the ring. Andretti was able to stand on his own but was assisted to the back. Jacob Cohen who was at the taping speculated that Andretti may have suffered a concussion.
However, the man himself has now provided an update to let fans know that he is “100% healthy”. He also thanked the medical team and staff for taking the “proper safety precautions”.
“To anyone wondering, I did not suffer any injuries yesterday at the dark tapings in Orlando and am 100% healthy! I want to thank the AEW medical team and the rest of the AEW staff for taking the proper safety precautions to ensure that I was ok and no had no serious injuries.”
