Six-way ladder match added to AEW Redemption due to Mistico injury
Even though he wasn’t announced for this Sunday’s AEW Redemption, an injury to Mistico has changed up the card for the pay-per-view.
After Dynamite wrapped, AEW head Tony Khan went live on X to share the news that due to injuries sustained last Friday at Arena Mexico, Mistico was not cleared to be at AEW TV this week or this Sunday, neither of which he was announced for.
Khan said he will hopefully be ready for next month’s Grand Slam Mexico and noted he would have been a great challenger for the winner of Sunday’s International title match between champion Kyle Fletcher and Bandido.
As a result, Khan added a six-way ladder match for Sunday where the winner earns a future International title shot.
Four names were pulled “by luck of the draw” for the match including Jack Perry, The Beast Mortos, Komander and “Speedball” Mike Bailey. Saturday’s Collision (taped Wednesday) will feature two qualifiers in Nick Wayne vs. AR Fox, and Lio Rush vs. El Clon.
In both Clon and Mortos’ case, it will be their first AEW action in quite some time as they have been dealing with visa issues. Komander and Mark Davis recently returned due to the same problems while Gabe Kidd’s status is unknown.
