Numerous injury updates in AEW (Patreon)

Unfortunate news out AEW with several injury updates this week.

An ROH regular is sidelined with an injury, as Cole Karter announced he'd undergone surgery on a broken arm. AEW sources noted that Karter would likely be out of action for a number of months, until the later part of the year or early 2025.

Karter had been performing on ROH TV for the last year, teaming with Griff Garrison. Most recently, they and Anthony Henry defeated Serpentico and The Infantry. Karter last appeared on AEW TV in March 2023 on AEW Dark. The last time he appeared on AEW cable TV was a December 2022 squash match.

Riho also sustained an injury during her AEW Collision match on Saturday. She was poised for a feud with Serena Deeb, but now there's no word on how long she could be sidelined. Riho hadn't appeared for AEW in four months ahead of the start of the feud.

Yuka Sakazaki, who was also planned for a Serena Deeb feud, has also been sidelined with an injury. She's been out of action since April.
