UPDATE: Fightful Select is now reporting that Big Boom AJ suffered a broken foot before the match took place. It was noted that he largely kept the injury to himself as he didn’t want to disappoint fans who bought a ticket to see his match. The report also confirmed that he was seen walking on crutches after the show.
The AEW Full Gear pay-per-view aired live from the Prudential Center on Saturday night and Big Boom AJ of the Costco Guys faced off against QT Marshall in a singles match during the Zero Hour pre-show. Big Boom AJ managed to pick up a win over QT Marshall, but it seems that he suffered an injury in the process.
AEW confirmed today that Big Boom AJ suffered a broken foot during the match when the company posted the following:
“While bringing the BOOM! against @QTMarshall on this past Saturday’s #AEWFullGear Zero Hour, Big BOOM! @ajbefumo suffered a broken foot but managed to fight valiantly and earn the victory in his #AEW debut in front of his son, #BigJustice, friend #TheRizzler, more than 10,000 fans at
@PruCenter and millions of fans from around the world watching at home.
AEW looks forward to welcoming Big BOOM! A.J., Big Justice and the whole Costco Guys crew back anytime, and we wish him a speedy recovery.”
PWInsider is also reporting that they’ve heard Big Boom AJ was seen at the AEW hotel after the pay-per-view walking around on crutches, but that hasn’t been confirmed.
It’s not clear if Big Boom AJ has any plans to wrestle again when he recovers, although it’s worth noting that Tony Khan has said he’s welcome to return to AEW.
