Jon Moxley suffered mild concussion at AEW Dynamite Grand Slam

Jon Moxley suffered a concussion during his match against Rey Fenix at AEW Dynamite Grand Slam.

On Wednesday night’s show, Moxley lost the AEW International Championship to Fenix. The title change wasn’t planned in advance but happened when Moxley called an audible after getting hurt.

Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that Moxley’s injury happened early on in the match. Before the bell even rang, there was a spot where Fenix did a dive off the ramp and landed on Moxley’s head. Moxley was “rocked” by the spot.

Moxley continued with the match despite being hurt. The finish was Fenix pinning Moxley after hitting two Fenix Drivers. Though Moxley didn’t kick out, referee Rick Knox didn’t count the pin after the first piledriver. Fenix then hit another one and pinned Moxley.

Moxley was able to leave the ring under his own power following the match.

“The word was: seemed to be a mild concussion. And I guess he was doing a lot better later in the evening,” Bryan Alvarez said on Wrestling Observer Radio.

“He was okay backstage,” Dave Meltzer added. “Diagnosed as a mild concussion. And he was not hurt by either piledriver.”

Moxley had won the AEW International Championship from Orange Cassidy at All Out earlier this month.
