Gabe Kidd is injured.
The former NJPW star was taken backstage midway through War Dogs' Trios Title defence on AEW Dynasty over a suspected shoulder injury. The Conglomeration then went on to win the championship after the returning Kyle O’Reilly made Clark Connors tap out.
The trio of Kidd, Connors, and David Finlay had only won the title on this week's episode of Collision. So many people wondered if an audible was called during the bout and if the Dogs were originally supposed to retain the belts before Gabe was taken out.
Update On Trios Title Change On Dynasty
Fightful Select provided some updates on the matter after the match. They confirmed that Gabe Kidd appeared to be injured upon arriving backstage. As for the match finish, however, the site reported that the title change was always the plan:
Kidd appeared to be holding his arm during the exit. The rest of the match had to be called on an altered plan. The finish was not changed, as Conglomeration was schedule to win all along.
The severity of Kidd's injury is not known at the moment, so it's hard to say what his immediate wrestling future will look like. Stay tuned for more updates on his health.
