Following last night’s AEW All Out pay-per-view event, Tony Khan took part in his regular media scrum. He was asked, as expected, about the medical condition of Matt Hardy following a nasty landing during his match with Sammy Guevara:
AEW President Tony said the health and safety of the wrestlers are the most important thing in AEW. He said it looks like Matt was going to be OK. Khan said he personally stopped Hardy’s match and rang the bell to pause the match. Matt passed a concussion protocol. He went to the hospital to confirm he was OK, but he was OK and that’s why the doctor cleared him to continue. Khan said it was a scary moment and not something that anyone enjoyed and it appears Matt is OK.
Justin Barrasso asked if they had medically overruled the doctor. Khan said Dr. Sampson has pulled people from their shows before, whether it be for an injury or a blood test. Khan never would have overruled the doctor’s decision and Matt wouldn’t have been allowed to overrule the doctor. Matt wanted to continue but they didn’t continue until he passed a concussion protocol.
