Update on Steven Borden Injury Status Following AEW All Out

In-Ring Incident and Match Stoppage at AEW All Out

The match featured Steven Borden teaming with Darby Allin against Kevin Knight and Kyle Fletcher. During a high-impact sequence, Knight and Borden leaped from opposite sides of the top rope, intending to execute a double clothesline. Borden landed awkwardly and hard on his head, suffering a loss of consciousness and a visible fencing response on the canvas. The referee recognized the severity of the situation immediately and signaled for medical assistance, bringing Doc Sampson into the ring. The official halted the bout on the spot and awarded the victory to Knight and Fletcher. As medical personnel attended to Borden in the ring, the broadcast cut to commentators who addressed the inherent dangers and unexpected accidents in professional wrestling.

Hospitalization and Medical Evaluations

Following the International Championship Match later in the broadcast, Tony Schiavone provided an on-air update to viewers, stating that Steven Borden was conscious, responsive, and undergoing evaluation at a local hospital. Chris Nowinski publicly commended the swift response of the officiating crew via social media, noting that the referee’s quick recognition of the concussion and loss of consciousness ensured Doc Sampson reached the athlete without delay.

Post-Show Updates and Roster Status

During the AEW All Out Post Show Media Scrum on September 27, 2026, Tony Khan provided a positive update on Borden’s condition. Khan stated that all of Borden’s CT scan results returned favorable and that the wrestler should be cleared to fly home to his family. Khan also addressed the physical toll of the event, noting that several other wrestlers sustained injuries and were evaluated by medical staff, which limited talent availability for post-show media appearances.
