Big Boom! AJ Suffered Broken Foot Before AEW Full Gear Debut

Big Boom! AJ made his AEW debut a memorable one at Full Gear Zero Hour, but it came at a cost. AEW announced that the Costco Guys standout suffered a broken foot during his match against QT Marshall. Despite the injury, AJ pushed through and secured a victory, making his first AEW appearance an unforgettable moment.

“While bringing the BOOM! against @QTMarshall on this past Saturday’s #AEWFullGear Zero Hour, Big BOOM! @ajbefumo suffered a broken foot but managed to fight valiantly and earn the victory in his #AEW debut in front of his son, #BigJustice, friend #TheRizzler, more than 10,000 fans,” AEW shared on social media.

The match was full of excitement, with interference from Big Justice and plenty of action courtesy of The Rizzler, who played key roles in the bout. AJ’s tenacity and ability to finish the fight despite his injury were praised by fans and peers alike.

In an update, Fightful Select reported that AJ had actually broken his foot earlier in the day but largely kept the injury to himself. According to the report, AJ didn’t want to disappoint fans who had bought tickets to see him or waste the promotion that went into the match. His decision to push through the pain made his performance even more inspiring to those watching.

Though AJ’s AEW journey is off to an inspiring start, this injury will sideline him for the foreseeable future. AEW has not yet provided a timeline for his recovery, but fans are hopeful he’ll return to bring the “Boom!” back to the ring soon.
