During the October 14th 2026 edition of AEW Dynamite, Adam Copeland revealed that Christian Cage suffered serious injuries during the three-way ladder match for the titles at All Out. According to Copeland, Cage was thrown into a ladder approximately five minutes into the match, breaking three ribs, with one of the ribs fractured in three places. Cage also suffered a collapsed lung.

While speaking in a media call to promote the 2026 Full Gear PPV event, AEW President Tony Khan provided an update on Christian’s recovery…

“I am very optimistic that we will see Christian Cage back, but I can’t say when. But I am very, very, very adamant that this is one of the most important people ever in AEW. He’s one of my all-time favorite professional wrestlers and one of my favorite people outside of the ring that I’ve ever known. I can’t give any updates other than to say he’s doing well, and he had a very challenging recovery and he’s in the middle of a very challenging recovery.”

“He’s a great villain on television, but he’s just an incredible person. Even though he doesn’t always come across like he’s the nicest guy, he’s a very good person. So, wishing the best to Christian Cage.”
