One Big Thing

AEW star Willow Nightingale’s concussion has forced the company to delay several creative plans, impacting the women’s division storylines.

By The Numbers

• Last AEW appearance: October 12 at WrestleDream PPV
• Injury announced: October 26 by CMLL
• Current status: Active recovery under concussion protocol

Behind The Scenes

Fightful Select reports multiple “tentative creative plans” are now on pause while Nightingale recovers. The timing is particularly challenging as it follows her high-profile match against Mariah May for the AEW Women’s Championship.

The Official Word

CMLL released a statement explaining Nightingale’s absence from scheduled events:

“Due to a concussion suffered during her participation in the Women’s Grand Prix… Willow must abstain from both dates to ensure her well-being and full recovery.”

Why It Matters

Nightingale’s injury impacts AEW’s women’s division at a crucial time:
• Disrupts ongoing storyline momentum
• Forces creative team to adjust upcoming programs
• Affects potential championship scenarios
• Demonstrates AEW’s commitment to talent safety through strict concussion protocols

Looking Ahead

No timeline has been announced for Nightingale’s return, as concussion recovery periods vary by individual. AEW continues to monitor her progress while adjusting creative plans accordingly.
