Another AEW star is heading to the sidelines, as new reports confirm that Mark Davis sustained a broken foot during his match with Powerhouse Hobbs on the March 26 episode of AEW Dynamite.
The injury, which caused the bout to end abruptly, had remained somewhat of a mystery until Wrestling Observer Radio’s Dave Meltzer provided a key update. Meltzer noted that the Aussie Open powerhouse fractured his foot during the match, which is expected to keep him out of in-ring action for at least a couple of months.
While AEW has yet to issue an official statement, there’s reportedly been backstage talk about keeping Davis visible on TV during his recovery — possibly in a non-wrestling or background role — to maintain his presence and keep momentum going for Aussie Open.
This injury comes at a tough time for Davis, who, alongside Kyle Fletcher, had been gaining traction as part of AEW’s tag team division. With Fletcher recently making solo appearances, it’ll be interesting to see how AEW handles Davis’ absence and whether Fletcher continues to work singles matches in the meantime.
No firm return date has been confirmed, but based on current expectations, fans may not have to wait too long to see Davis back on his feet — and back in the ring.
