Summary
Willow Nightingale said her left hand is legitimately broken but insisted she will defend the AEW Women’s World Championship against Mercedes Moné on Sunday at All In.
An X-ray later Saturday was set to determine the injury’s severity and how much wrist or hand flexibility she will have for the Wembley Stadium match.
The injury follows Moné’s backstage assault last week, a storyline attack Nightingale said resulted in a real hand break.
Speaking on AEW Collision in Glasgow, Nightingale told fans she still expects to walk into Wembley with the title and leave as champion.
Nightingale also said she expects a split crowd because of Moné’s popularity, adding she is preparing for an elite-level fight despite the injury.
