Chris Jericho Says Santana Messed Up His Back At AEW Blood & Guts
AEW Blood & Guts was not without its casualties.
Members of The Inner Circle and The Pinnacle took to social media after the double ring cage match on the May 5 episode of AEW Dynamite, with Sammy Guevara specifically showing just how bruised up he was following the match.
Speaking on his Talk Is Jericho podcast, Chris Jericho revealed Santana took a rough bump that had him walking gingerly backstage.
“Ortiz got back bumped into the cage and the cage moved and he fell between the cage and the apron. I went over and tried to pull the cage back so he could get out. It looked really dangerous. Later on, Santana did the same, except he took the bump over the top rope and between the apron and cage, onto a chair that was also stuffed in there. He actually got really hurt and messed up his back and was having some problems walking after,” said Jericho.
The extent of Santana’s injury or if he’ll miss any in-ring time is unknown.
Elsewhere during the podcast, Jericho detailed the finish and stunt bump in the match. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
