Scorpio Sky Injury Status Update

As noted before, Scorpio Sky has been out of action for AEW since this past June due to a knee-related injury.

Fightful Select reported that their sources stated that Sky has been medically cleared for quite some time for an in-ring return. Those same sources reportedly stated that the reason why Sky has yet to return to AEW programming is due to AEW officials currently do not have any creative plans in place for him.

It was reported that Sky was at a Dynamite taping over the summer and had filmed content that did not get used nor aired in the end.

Thunder Rosa Comments on Relinquishing AEW Women’s World Championship

As noted before, Thunder Rosa has been out of action for AEW since this past September due to her suffering a spinal-related injury.

This past Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite show in Chicago, Illinois featured the official announcement of Rosa relinquishing her AEW Women’s Championship due to the current status of her injury. It was also announced that Jamie Hayter’s current Interim Women’s title reign was now considered to be an official title reign by the company. It was also announced that previous Interim Women’s Champion Toni Storm’s reign has been retroactively upgraded to official title reign status as well.

Following the show, Rosa reflected on Twitter about relinquishing her AEW Women’s Championship due to injury and the future of her wrestling career.

Thank you #ThunderArmy for all the support and @aew for being there for me. Dream-like moments happened in this run, and this is not how I wanted to lose the championship, but you deserve a present champion; on to the next chapter.
