Kyle Fletcher, Marq Quen likely to miss significant time due to injuries
The injury bug has bitten AEW twice over the last week as both Kyle Fletcher and Private Party’s Marq Quen are expected to miss significant time with injuries.
First acknowledged on this past Saturday’s Collision, Fightful Select reported some updates on both Monday.
Fletcher, the reigning TNT Champion, is said to have sustained a meniscus injury in addition to other undisclosed “additional injuries” that are expected to keep him out of action for a while. He appeared to sustain the meniscus injury during his March 28 tag team match that saw he and Mark Davis defeat The Rascalz, but it’s unclear if the other injuries are linked to that.
It remains to be seen whether AEW will keep the title on Fletcher or introduce an interim title as they have in the past.
Quen and Isiah Kassidy just returned to AEW in March after more than a year away, wrestling two tag team matches, the latest coming on the same edition of Collision where Fletcher got hurt. Fightful reported that Quen may have sustained a tear, but it’s unknown to what body part.
Regardless, they stated it’s expect he will miss “some significant time.” It’s also unknown if he sustained his injury during that March 28 match.
On this past Saturday’s Collision, Kassidy alluded to Quen being injured and targeted reigning Continental Champion Jon Moxley, but a match between the two has yet to be announced.
