Well, even though there are a lot of differences between WWE and AEW, one thing will always be common. That is the injuries. No matter on which wrestling promotion the wrestlers are, they are always vulnerable to picking up an injury. The latest wrestler to go into the injury list is AEW superstar, Lance Archer.

Lance Archer botched a move during his first-round match of the AEW World Title Eliminator Tournament against Eddie Kingston. Archer landed on his head badly while attempting a moonsault on Eddie Kingston. Recently, the AEW president, Tony Khan, provided an update on the injury status of Lance Archer.

It was speculated that Archer suffered a head injury. But recently, Tony Khan took to Twitter to confirm that it is not a head injury. In fact, Archer suffered a neck injury during his match against Kingston.

The AEW president also mentioned that the AEW superstar will be out of action for some time, and there is no timetable yet for his return.

What did the AEW president say about Lance Archer following his neck injury?

The AEW president, Tony Khan, appeared in a post-show media scrum after AEW Full Gear 2021. He was asked about the current status of Lance Archer. In reply, Tony Khan said, “He is good and thankfully he came out of it good. It was a neck injury, not a head injury, so he cleared all of the impact testing, concussion stuff.” (h/t: WrestleZone)

Further, Tony Khan heaped praise on the former IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion. Tony Khan admitted Archer is a very important member of the AEW roster. He also mentioned how well Lance Archer has done in AEW by talking about his memorable matches against Jon Moxley and Hiroshi Tanahashi.

Later, Tony Khan claimed since it is a neck injury, they don’t want to rush his return. He said, “It’s a neck injury, so you don’t want to rush it, but he was here today and the doc’s checking up on him and he’s doing great. He’s in great spirits and he’s had a great 2021.”

We wish Lance Archer good luck in his recovery and hope to see him back in action soon.
