Juice Robinson’s Injury Revealed After Pullout From AEW Continental Classic

The AEW Continental Classic has taken a dramatic turn with the revelation of Juice Robinson’s injury that forced his withdrawal from the tournament. According to Fightful Select, Robinson sustained a fibula break, not a foot injury as initially speculated, marking a significant blow to his tournament hopes.

Robinson was officially replaced by rising lucha star Komander on December 3 after it became clear he couldn’t continue in the Gold League. Robinson’s troubles reportedly began over WrestleCade weekend, where he appeared on crutches but was hopeful the issue was just a sprain. He delayed getting X-rays until December 2, at which point the severity of the injury—a fibula break—was confirmed.

AEW officials were reportedly aware by the weekend that Robinson’s participation in the tournament was unlikely, leading to Komander stepping in as the first alternate. The move shakes up the Gold League lineup and provides Komander with a golden opportunity to showcase his jaw-dropping aerial skills.

Robinson’s lone tournament match came on the November 30 episode of AEW Collision, where he faced Will Ospreay in a hard-fought loss. Fans now face questions about how long Robinson’s recovery will take and what this means for his future in AEW.

With Komander taking his spot, anticipation is high for the high-flyer’s debut in the Continental Classic, but Robinson’s absence will undoubtedly leave a void in the competition’s dynamic.
