The AEW roster did not come out of Revolution unscathed.

Several wrestlers are said to be banged up following Sunday’s show at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The injuries were addressed by Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer on Sunday night’s edition of Wrestling Observer Radio.

“As far as I know, nobody is seriously hurt but there are many people who are banged up. As far as like the severity, I don’t know,” Meltzer said on the show, adding that he heard neither Kyle Fletcher nor Will Ospreay were seriously hurt from the Spanish Fly off the top of the cage. However, Ospreay was seen limping after landing on his hip.

“I hope (Ospreay’s) okay. He landed right on his hip,” Meltzer continued. “He was limping really bad at the end but I heard no serious injury. So, hopefully that’s the case.”

Alvarez and Meltzer also mentioned that Swerve Strickland is dealing with a busted eardrum, Mercedes Mone has a bruised larynx, and Momo Watanabe left the show on crutches.

“Swerve (Strickland) had a busted eardrum, that one, I know,” Meltzer continued.

Alvarez added, “Mercedes (Mone) is messed up, Momo Watanabe’s messed up. Momo left on crutches, I think she hurt her ankle on some spot. It was not from kicking (Mone) in the face, although I think she kicked her right in the neck.”

“What I heard was bruised larynx on Mercedes. But she was backstage and seemed to be largely okay. So, I guess that’s something to just check on.” Alvarez continued. “But there were a lot of people banged up here on this show.”

Alvarez also mentioned MJF being dropped on his face on an Angel’s Wings during his match with Hangman Page, as well as Strickland being dropped on his head on a Death Valley Driver, as dangerous-looking spots on the show.

“Too many scary spots, honestly,” Meltzer commented.

“These guys are going, ‘We got to top ourselves’ and it sets a dangerous direction because guys are going in there and working like it’s their last match for weeks. They are just working to have these incredible matches and to do so they are taking so many risks,” he continued.
