Action Andretti ‘100 percent healthy’ after AEW Dark match stopped
Despite an injury scare at Friday’s AEW Dark tapings, Action Andretti is “100 percent healthy.”
A match between Andretti and Slim J at the Dark tapings ended in a referee stoppage after it was feared that Andretti suffered an injury. Our JJ Williams noted that Andretti “was able to stand on his own but was helped to the back after the doctor rushed into the ring.”
Andretti posted an update on Saturday, stating that he didn’t suffer any injuries. Andretti thanked the AEW medical team and the rest of the AEW staff for taking the proper precautions to ensure that he was okay.
