Nigel McGuinness Faces Injury Setback in AEW Continental Challenge Cup

The AEW Continental Challenge Cup is currently underway, featuring competitors such as Jon Moxley, Hechicero, and Eddie Kingston. However, Nigel McGuinness' participation is now in doubt following reports of an injury he sustained during his match against Katsuyori Shibata.

During the latest episode of AEW Collision, announcers hinted at McGuinness' injury, which was confirmed by Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio. The exact moment of the injury remains unclear, but McGuinness was seen grimacing after blocking a kick from Shibata.

If McGuinness is unable to continue, AEW may need to decide whether to replace him or proceed with seven competitors, potentially granting a bye to one participant. Additionally, McGuinness is scheduled to compete at the ROH Death Before Dishonor event in Philadelphia, where he was set to challenge for the ROH Pure Championship.
