Former Ring of Honor TV Champion Komander was pulled from a high profile trios match on Wednesday’s AEW Summer Blockbuster due to a legitimate injury.

Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp first reported the news Wednesday night on X after AEW aired a backstage segment from earlier in the day where The Hurt Syndicate took out Komander and also took his mask. Komander was holding his knee and it was said he wasn’t medically cleared.

Taking his place was Mascara Dorada, joining “Speedball” Mike Bailey and Kevin Knight against MJF, Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin. The Hurt Syndicate picked up the win with MJF unmasking Dorada afterward as part of the build to his match with Mistico at next Wednesday’s AEW Grand Slam Mexico.

It’s unknown what the exact injury is, when he suffered it, and if it will keep him out of next Wednesday’s event at Arena Mexico.

Komander last wrestled in a trios match at last Wednesday’s Fyter Fest in Denver, Colorado.
