AEW star Hechicero lost a clean match to fellow AEW competitor Roderick Strong at CMLL Viernes Espectacular in Arena México this past weekend. However, he was pulled from Monday's main event in Monterrey, which has led fans to speculate about a potential injury.
According to Dave Meltzer on the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Hechicero was scheduled to participate in the main event in Monterrey, but it was announced on Friday that he was injured. Meltzer suggested that it’s likely Hechicero sustained the injury during the match. However, since he was also booked for a show in Villahermosa, the legitimacy of the injury remains uncertain. Meltzer indicated that Hechicero's status will be clearer if he appears on AEW Dynamite as scheduled.
Hechicero is expected to team up with Lance Archer and Rocky Romero from the Don Callis Family on Dynamite to face Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, and Daniel Garcia from The Death Riders, following a brawl that took place last week on Collision.
