Steven Borden recovers after mid-air collision at AEW All Out

Steven Borden, a rookie performer for All Elite Wrestling (AEW), is recovering after a mid-air collision during a tag team match at the All Out 2026 pay-per-view. The incident occurred when Borden and opponent Kevin Knight attempted simultaneous dives from opposite sides of the ring, resulting in a collision that left Borden motionless on the mat.

AEW President Tony Khan confirmed that Borden was taken to the hospital but remained awake and responsive. Subsequent medical tests, including a CT scan, returned clear results. AEW announcer Tony Schiavone reported that Borden has experienced no headaches or dizziness and expressed that the athlete was primarily concerned about whether the incident had negatively impacted the event.

While the injury caused significant concern among staff and fans, reports suggest Borden could potentially return to the ring within several weeks, pending further medical clearance. Professional wrestler Ricochet defended the incident, noting that high-risk maneuvers carry inherent dangers in the industry and that such accidents are an unavoidable aspect of the sport.
