Backstage Fear Ahead Of All In: AEW Star Possibly Injured

AEW will host All In: London this Sunday at the iconic Wembley Stadium. The upcoming pay-per-view can potentially be one of the greatest wrestling events of all time. Unfortunately, a popular star has likely suffered an injury ahead of the show.

Kyle O’Reilly locked horns with Nigel McGuinness in the semifinals of the Continental Challenge Cup on this week’s AEW Dynamite. This was an excellent match, which Nigel convincingly won. The Conglomeration member eventually shared a picture of himself on Instagram Story where he had a swollen black eye.

According to Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer, O’Reilly might have suffered a broken orbital bone.

“There was definitely fear of a broken orbital bone. He had a big black eye though. I actually saw it during the match, and then afterwards I was told about that he’s got a big black eye and it was scary,” said Meltzer.

The severity of the former WWE star’s injury is unknown. Hopefully, we will learn more about this soon. Had he defeated McGuinness on Dynamite, he would have challenged Jon Moxley for the Continental Title at All In. He does not have a match at the upcoming pay-per-view for now.

AEW star Kyle O’Reilly wants to accomplish many things in the Tony Khan-led company

Kyle O’Reilly joined AEW in 2021. In a 2024 interview with Fightful, the former World Trios Champion said that he wants to accomplish many things in the promotion, but he is not in a rush. He also said that he is happy that he is working for such a massive promotion.

“I really just don’t want to take for granted the opportunity to wrestle in a mainstream company and even have matches again. That’s something I was never really sure if it was going to happen. The fact that I get to be back on the road and earning my living and get to wrestle, the only thing I’ve ever really been good at or can at least make a living doing, that’s the most important thing. Big matches and championships, I’m sure they’ll come as long as I stay the course. I’m not going to get too ahead of myself. One match at a time,” he said. [H/T: Fightful]

It will be interesting to see what the future holds for O’Reilly. Perhaps he will win a singles title in the company soon.
