Willow Nightingale Faces Injury Ahead of AEW All In Match

Willow Nightingale, the current AEW Women's World Champion, is preparing for a significant match against Mercedes Mone at AEW All In in London on August 30, despite dealing with a legitimate hand injury.

The injury was highlighted following an attack by Mone during the August 26 episode of AEW Dynamite, which was incorporated into the storyline. While the specifics of the injury's occurrence remain unclear, it has been confirmed that Nightingale will still participate in the event at Wembley Stadium.

Nightingale has competed in only two matches since winning the championship at AEW Redemption 2026, where she defeated Thekla. Her recent bouts include a trios match on August 5 and a champion vs. champion match against Maya World on August 22, which may have contributed to her injury. This year has been challenging for Nightingale, as she previously had to vacate her AEW TBS Championship due to a shoulder injury in May, which affected her booking for the upcoming match.
