5 Takeaways from AEW Dynamite (June 30th 2021)

Rebel Is Seriously Injured

This one is not in storyline, as it is an unfortunate real-life injury. The ex-TNA Knockouts champion joined AEW last year alongside Britt Baker, completing the whole dentist package for her gimmick.

During the tag match this week pitting Rebel and Britt against Nyla Rose and Vickie Guerrero, the hair and make-up lady of the DMD was clearly hurt. Rolling out of the ring after a move, she seemed to have a leg injury akin of Baker herself last year. Rebel’s injury was evident, with her not re-entering the match before the finish, with footage off-air showing her failing to walk – having to be aided by a number of EMTs.

It was revealed she dislocated her knee cap. This injury is the same as the one Triple H sustained in 2006 that took him out of action for a year. Rebel’s knee cap blew over to a different side of her leg, leaving her in excruciating pain. We’ll have to see how AEW adapts storylines around her and we all want to wish her a speedy recovery from this injury.
