The wrestling world was left stunned after recent reports suggested that All Elite Wrestling (AEW) star Chuck Taylor may never step into the ring again due to a severe injury. The news comes on the heels of Taylor’s intense Parking Lot Brawl against Trent Beretta on the April 27 episode of AEW Rampage. Following the brutal match, Orange Cassidy broke the devastating news that Taylor’s wrestling career might be at an end.
According to sources, Taylor suffered a fractured ankle during the bout, which has led to necrosis, making it impossible for him to compete in the squared circle again. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter confirmed that Taylor’s injury is legitimate, and the announcement was not a work.
The news has sent shockwaves throughout the AEW community, with fans and fellow wrestlers alike expressing their support for Taylor during this difficult time. Meanwhile, Trent Beretta, who turned heel on Orange Cassidy and Chuck Taylor, went on to face Cassidy in a brutal match on AEW Dynamite, which saw Beretta deliver a vicious Piledriver on the steel steps.
The spot sparked controversy, with Bully Ray expressing his displeasure with the execution of the move on Busted Open Radio. Ray felt that Cassidy should not have recovered so quickly from the brutal Piledriver, which has sparked a debate about the safety and well-being of wrestlers in the ring.
As the wrestling world waits with bated breath for updates on Taylor’s condition, Orange Cassidy has seemingly moved on, defeating Beretta on AEW Dynamite. However, the question on everyone’s mind is: what’s next for the 40-year-old star, and will he be able to find a new path forward without his long-time tag team partner?
While Taylor’s in-ring career may be hanging in the balance, his contributions to the world of professional wrestling will never be forgotten. As the AEW community rallies around their injured colleague, one thing is certain – Chuck Taylor’s legacy will continue to inspire and entertain fans for years to come.
