Nick Jackson Injury Update From AEW Dynamite Opener
AEW World Tag Team Champion Nick Jackson did not suffer a broken leg during the opener at last night’s New Year’s Smash Night 1 edition of AEW Dynamite.
As noted, last night’s opener saw The Young Bucks and SCU defeat The Acclaimed and The Hybrid2 in eight-man tag team action. At one point Jack Evans went up to the top for the 630, but Jackson got his knees up for the landing. It was noted by Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Radio how Evans landed so hard that Jackson thought at first he may have broken one of his legs. Jackson did work the rest of the match, but was favoring the leg. He also participated in the big show-closing angle, but was limited.

Lasorda was one of baseball’s most beloved ambassadors and spent an incredible 71 years with the Dodgers organizations. The legendary manager led one of the game’s most storied franchises to two World Series titles and won over 1,500 games.
