Big Boom A.J. has confirmed that he suffered an injury during his Full Gear match but announced that he is not done with wrestling just yet.
The TikTok star posted a video addressing the news first reported by Fightful Select. He noted that he was able to finish the match despite the injury because of the adrenaline of being back in the ring and in front of the crowd:
“The story is out there. I did break my foot in the ring Saturday night. I think it happened somewhere right around the flying clothesline. But you know, the adrenaline was kicking.
Everyone at the Prudential Center was bringing the boom. I had big justice in my corner, the rizzler right there. Of course, Ashley, Mama justice, Whole family right there. So I guess that adrenaline kicked in and I was able to finish the match.”
The Costco Guys Are All Elite
Tony Khan had extended the invitation to AJ to return to AEW after his match. The former indie wrestler confirmed during the video that he’ll be returning to the ring for the company after his recovery. He teased involvement with the wrestling promotion during his rehab as well:
“I have been in touch with Tony Khan today, also with the other executives at AEW, and I will be coming back. I will be back in the ring again. Do not worry about that.
Big Boom AJ has about a six-to-eight-week recovery here, but then I will be back in the ring again. I will be doing a few things with AEW during that time. So stay tuned. We got some real fun stuff coming your way.”
Big Boom went on to thank everyone at AEW who allowed to him to be part of the show after he had not been in the ring for 20 years. He said that both him and Big Justice are ‘All Elite’ and they’ll be back in the ring very soon.
