One of the most scariest moments in All Elite Wrestling in its short lifespan happened before Full Gear in a four way tag team match.
Alex Reynolds teamed with John Silver to meet Private Party, The Butcher & The Blade, The Young Bucks, and Private Party. During the course of the match, Alex Reynolds took a very bad bump where it looked like Reynolds was knocked out cold. During his appearance on AEW Unrestricted with his tag team partner John Silver, Reynolds spoke about the incident and revealed he was awake the entire time and was cognizant the entire duration. He added that the moment Blade dragged him into the corner was part of the match plan.
“I was lying in the middle of the ring waiting for Private Party to hit the combination splash/leg drop off the top rope, and I got kinda rocked. It is what it is, but what many people online don’t know — obviously, because they weren’t in the situation — I wasn’t knocked out. I was awake the whole time and remember everything. I knew where I was, knew what was going on in the match. I literally did a self-check with myself. The big thing everyone was complaining about was Blade dragging me to the corner. That was all planned. What people aren’t understanding is that I just took a double team move off the top rope. In order to win the match, you have to be legal. So, Blade just drags me to the corner so he could become legal and try to win the match.”
“People were upset, but I was just laying there and selling this move, but I was also rocked and just making sure I was OK. I’ve been wrestling long enough to know I’m pretty sure I could continue. John looked at me like, ‘Are you okay?’ And I was like ‘Yeah, I think I’m OK.’ While I was on the ground, I was like, ‘OK, I can do this.’ And then once I stood up, I was like, ‘Oh no.’ That’s the thing – that’s when everybody realized I was hurt. It’s chaotic. I’ll be honest, the worst part of it was the feedback I was getting on social media. That was the hardest thing. The doctors and everybody – once they knew I was hurt and once I knew I was hurt, it was like, ‘Hey, I’m done. Get me out of here.’ People sit back and watch it with the knowledge that I was already hurt. So they’re like, ‘They handled it wrong.’ And I’m like ‘No, they handled it perfectly.’ Thankfully, I’m OK, cleared, and ready to go.’ It was a little scary, and my wife was a little traumatized by it.”
Spots like that can be scary on appearance. Thankfully Reynolds was okay and people were ready to check on him just in case something went wrong.
