Over the last few days word has been going around that Juice Robinson had suffered an injury. He was at WrestleCade over the weekend on crutches with his left ankle/foot taped up. It was unknown how bad the injury is and now we know it has pulled him from the Continental Classic.
AEW President Tony Khan announced Tuesday afternoon that due to injury Juice Robinson cannot compete in the Continental Classic. With Juice out another name is needed for the Gold League and Komander will be taking his place in the tournament.
Due to injury, Juice Robinson cannot complete the #AEWContinentalClassic.
Aiming to prove that he can hang with the worldβs very best, high flying rising star @KomandercrMX will join the field as Gold League first alternate, + the upcoming schedule will be adjusted accordingly.
