Steven Borden hospitalized after injury at AEW All Out

entertainmentSep 27, 2026721,574

At All Elite Wrestling All Out 2026 in the NOW Arena in Chicago, Steven Borden suffered a scary in-ring injury during a tag match teaming with TNT Champion Darby Allin against Kevin Knight and Kyle Fletcher. Borden and Knight collided after agreeing to a top-rope clash; Borden landed back-first and his head struck the canvas, prompting officials to stop the match and award the bout to Fletcher and Knight. AEW’s commentary reported Borden was conscious and responsive as he was taken to a local hospital. At the All Out media scrum AEW President Tony Khan said, "Steven Borden, awake, responsive at the hospital and he had a CT scan and all the tests have come back good. So far, all good results and we’re hopeful Steven’s gonna be able to fly home tomorrow to his family," a quote transcribed by Fightful. AEW paused the card to care for Borden and medical personnel evaluated him ringside before transport; the company says it will provide updates if more information becomes available.

Update on Steven Borden: He is conscious and responsive, and has just arrived at a nearby hospital for evaluation. The doctor has just arrived in the room to check him out, and his family is there too. Good news that he is conscious and responsive. All the best for Steve Borden. ❤️ #AEWALLOUT

I've been completely taken out since that happened, I'm so glad to know he's okay. And now I won't feel weird watching a show while constantly looking for updates and wondering if he's going to be alright. Great news that he's conscious and talking.

Update 3: During the All Out Media scrum last night, Tony Khan said that Steven’s CT scan looked good and that he will likely be discharged today.

I feel like the ref and Doc Sampson were on top of everything and really quickly made the right call.

DJ Einsam3

I gotta say being there, Bryce was on top of it. He immediately checked on him and got the doc in there right away

This is good to hear.

Credit to AEW for making sure to give the live fans an update on Steven Borden and not just the TV audience. #AEWAllOut

Yeah it’s a really good idea and i also think it’s important that they aren’t pretending he’s totally fine and are giving what I assume are real updates.

TheGilmour1

That was good. It’s nice they all didn’t have to keep checking their phones.

Using the Steven Borden injury as a pawn for your tribalist narrative is exactly why you get zero bitches. #AEWAllOut

He was playing NCAA football and it could've happened there, he also drives so it could've happened there. It's almost like head trauma injuries can happen anywhere at anytime. Tribalistic chuds will never figure that out.

Dave Goldberg4

That could happen to veterans or rookies in any company. And much worse has sadly happened. So there really is no fan of any company that can use this as a Tribal flag.

This ☝️. Worry about Steve first when he's all good then talk about what happened.

This is one of many reasons I don't use that awful website.

Saw a video on TikTok filmed during the aftermath of the Steven Borden injury and Darby was overcome with emotion while Aubrey was comforting him. A small child kept yelling out "He'll be ok, Darby! Don't worry!" And this is why i love the AEW fan base. Gems top to bottom. #AEW

He may play an amoral scoundrel on TV, but Swerve Strickland is a good guy. He's also kind of a wrestling nerd. A non-tribalistic post doesn't surprise me. It just reinforces that he's a quality person. (But don't tell anyone. I might get in trouble.) #AEWAllOut #wrestlesky

My match of the night is gonna be Dani Luna vs Persephone. Why? Cause their work immediately after the Steven Borden injury brought the crowd around, which set the rest of the show back up for success going forward. Dani, along with Persephone, deserve to be recognized for that. 🤼‍♂️

#AewAllOut was tremendous. Its unfortunate that the grifters and weirdos will focus solely on Borden's injury. Each match delivered tonight. The main event felt like the true climax of will's story that began at revolution.

Until Sting Jr got injured, it’s a testament to Fletcher, Allin, and Knight how they were structuring the match to hide Borden’s limited moveset. AEW has come a long way from Matt Hardy wrestling with a head injury to quickly recognizing one now. I especially like what Taz said. #AEWAllOut

Who’s gonna say the most offensive stupid shit about Steven Borden and why is Raj Giri gonna say it?

It's going to start with a reasonable point about how he shouldn't have been allowed to do that spot in his 36th match/3rd televised match and quickly turn into something much more fucked up

Brian Hale3

Well AirGold is already AEW attacking on this and he's also attacking Dani Luna because she's not Kairi. AirGold is just a really sad person.

Patrick Nguyen3

Either him or Julian Weeks, Alfred Konuwa, JDfromNY, WrestleTalk, NoDQ, or Steve Carrier

Adrian Gaskin2

It's a gaurantee. Also, Bischoff as well.

Couldn't tell what exactly happened to Steve Borden from where I was sitting but I hope he's alright 😬. Part of me is a little worried that my @wafflybollox.bsky.social sign might've been distracting for him😅. #AEWAllOut

A poster board sign that reads ' HOT STEVE #WafflyBollox'

Head got banged when he landed. Latest update is his CT scans are clear and he may be able to fly home tomorrow.

I saw your sign from the 200s haha, hoping he just knocked himself out on the landing, unfortunate

I want to acknowledge the awesome humans @refaubrey.bsky.social, @dabryceisright.bsky.social & AEW team are. I was ringside/aisleside at All Out. When Steven Borden Jr. got injured, the emotion that they had and how they all checked on everyone speaks volumes on how amazing they are. 🤼
