AEW's Scorpio Sky Announces Injury Following Title Defense On Rampage

AEW’s Scorpio Sky has revealed he's dealing with a minor injury in the wake of Friday’s AEW Rampage.

Scorpio was successful in defending his TNT Championship against Darius Martin of Top Flight in the main event of the California-based show but was noticeably hobbled. He was a step slower from the opening minutes of the match and, thereafter, would get on Twitter to reveal he suffered a strained muscle in his right thigh that left him unable to move around normally.

“I went into last night's match with my knee bothering me and unfortunately in the opening minutes I strained a muscle that goes from my knee up through my groin,” he wrote. “My right leg was useless from then on. Despite that, wrestling in SoCal felt amazing even on one leg. Hopefully, nothing serious and I’ll be back to defend again soon."

Another Injury Blow

Sky's announcement comes after AEW World Champion CM Punk revealed he will need to step away from the ring in order to have surgery on a broken foot. An emotional Punk dished the bad news out on Friday night, with his belt now set to be up for grabs.

AEW has since revealed that there will be a Battle Royal next Wednesday to determine who faces No.1 contender Jon Moxley during the show’s main event. The winner will then challenge for Punk’s title at Forbidden Door on June 26.

Fans were left confused over the whole thing after Chris Jericho said that Punk had relinquished the title on two occasions. While the veteran superstar said he was willing to do so, he didn’t actually say he would.

Jericho would later admit that he misspoke.
