Jonathan Grisham successfully defended his World Championship Ring of Honor title at AEW’s Battle of the Belts II Saturday night, but reportedly did not leave the match unscathed. The ‘octopus’ was reportedly being checked for a concussion after his match with Dalton Castle was taped on Friday night, and it was later announced that he had been withdrawn from upcoming progression events in the UK (he’s the world champion there too) due to injury.
“Unfortunately, due to injury, Jonathan Grisham is medically ineligible to make the trip to the UK this weekend. Replacements will soon be named for both #AtlasWeekend events. Our hero will return to action in Class 134 on Sunday 15th May,” the promotional Twitter account wrote.
