Komander Expected to Miss Significant Time After Knee Injury

The June 11th episode of AEW Dynamite: Summer Blockbuster featured Komander being written off TV after a brutal attack by The Hurt Syndicate. This was done to cover for a real injury he suffered. Unfortunately, it appears that the injury is serious and Komander is expected to be out of action for a long time.

While speaking on Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez provided an update on Komander’s condition, stating that the AEW star is expected to be out for a long time.

Alvarez noted that Komander had his injury examined this week to determine how severe it is. Despite showing up at AEW Dynamite and wanting to compete, doctors did not clear him, indicating the injury is serious. It’s still unclear whether he has a torn ligament or a sprained knee, but as of now, he remains medically unfit to compete.

“Komander’s gonna be out for a long time. He was getting it checked this week to find out the severity. He did show up to Dynamite and wanted to do the match, but the doctor said no way—it just wasn’t possible, so it’s serious. That means he couldn’t do that match. It’s likely serious, but whether he tore ligaments or just sprained his knee, we don’t know yet. What we do know is that he’s not cleared right now, and that’s the update.”

Komander was wrestling this past Sunday in Oaxaca and went for his signature move, a rope walk into a Fosbury Flop. Unfortunately, he slipped in the middle of the move, and Ultimo Guerrero had to react quickly to keep him from getting seriously hurt. This is how Komander was injured during the spot.

Komander’s injury is a tough break for both him and AEW’s international division. Fans will definitely miss his high-flying style, but his health is the priority. Therefore, we’ll have to see when Komander will make his in-ring return as fans miss him already.
