Unfortunately, it appears Taylor may never wrestle again after suffering a career-ending injury.
On the May 1 episode of AEW Dynamite, Orange Cassidy revealed that Chuck Taylor “will never wrestle again” following his brutal match against Trent Beretta on AEW Rampage. It was then added that Taylor would require surgery, but many fans hoped this was all part of a storyline.

”Chuck Taylor’s storyline injury is legitimate with the belief right now being “that Taylor won’t be able to wrestle again” with the nature of the injury being “likely career ending”.
