AEW All Out 2026: Steven Borden Gets Knocked Out After Scary Collision, Match Ends Abruptly

AEW All Out 2026: Steven Borden Gets Knocked Out After Scary Collision, Match Ends Abruptly. AEW All Out took an unexpected turn during the World Tag Team Championship number one contender’s match between Darby Allin and Steven Borden and The Don Callis Family’s Kyle Fletcher and Kevin Knight. What was shaping up to be another major opportunity for Borden ended abruptly after an apparent accident involving Borden and Knight, with medical personnel immediately entering the ring to check on the young AEW star.

The match carried significant stakes, as the winning team was set to earn a future shot at the AEW World Tag Team Championship. The bout also continued the ongoing rivalry between Allin and Knight, while giving Borden another opportunity to establish himself alongside the former TNT Champion. Borden had entered the match undefeated in his early AEW run, making the abrupt ending particularly concerning.

Steven Borden Impresses Early Against The Don Callis Family

The match began with Darby Allin and Kyle Fletcher initially positioned in the ring, but Fletcher quickly asked Steven Borden to enter instead. Borden accepted the challenge and immediately showed confidence against Fletcher, displaying the athleticism and timing that had helped him make a strong impression during his first AEW matches.

Borden continued to look comfortable when Kevin Knight entered the contest. The young wrestler traded exchanges with both members of The Don Callis Family before eventually making the tag to Allin. The momentum then shifted toward the established rivalry between Allin and Knight, with the two men once again coming face-to-face after their previous battles over the TNT Championship.

Knight and Allin exchanged several hard-hitting sequences, but The Don Callis Family eventually found a way to isolate Allin. Fletcher and Knight worked together to keep the TNT Champion away from his corner, repeatedly cutting him off and preventing him from reaching Borden.

Darby Allin Endures Punishment As Don Callis Family Takes Control

The Callis Family’s teamwork became increasingly important as Fletcher and Knight continued to wear Allin down. The two-on-one assault prevented Allin from building enough momentum to make the tag, and at one point he was driven into a steel chair with a powerbomb, adding another dangerous moment to an already physical contest.

Despite the punishment, Allin continued fighting to stay in the match. The TNT Champion eventually found an opportunity to counter Fletcher and create the opening he needed to reach Borden. However, the sequence did not immediately lead to the sustained momentum Allin and Borden needed.

When Borden eventually entered again, he exploded into the contest and attacked both members of the Don Callis Family. Fletcher and Knight were forced outside the ring, but Borden followed the action and found himself exposed near the barricade.

Fletcher and Knight then used the numbers advantage to blast Borden into the barricade. Allin followed with a suicide dive onto Fletcher, only for Knight to intercept Allin with a leaping clothesline. The action quickly spilled into another dangerous sequence.

Steven Borden And Kevin Knight Collide From Opposite Turnbuckles

Knight appeared ready to take advantage of Allin’s position and attempted to set up a Coast-to-Coast maneuver. With Allin positioned in the opposite corner, the situation looked increasingly dangerous for the TNT Champion.

Borden returned to the ring and intervened before Knight could complete the maneuver, preventing further punishment to his partner. Borden then climbed one side of the turnbuckles while Knight positioned himself on the opposite side.

Both men launched themselves from opposite turnbuckles and attempted to collide in mid-air with simultaneous clotheslines. The timing of the sequence appeared awkward, and Borden landed heavily.

The situation immediately changed the atmosphere inside the arena. Rather than continuing the match, attention turned toward Borden as medical personnel entered the ring to assess him. The broadcast commentary acknowledged the unfortunate nature of the accident while noting that doctors were attending to Borden.

Match Ends Abruptly As Medical Team Checks Steven Borden

With Borden being attended to by medical personnel, the referee made the decision to end the contest. Kyle Fletcher and Kevin Knight were announced as the winners, earning the victory over Darby Allin and Steven Borden in the World Tag Team Championship number one contender’s match.

The finish was particularly unusual because the match did not reach a conventional wrestling conclusion. There was no decisive pinfall or submission, with the contest instead ending because of the situation surrounding Borden following the collision.

As of this report, there has been no confirmed diagnosis publicly established by AEW in the sources reviewed for this article. Therefore, it would be premature to identify a specific injury or state that Borden suffered a concussion or was knocked unconscious. What was clear from the broadcast was that the match was stopped and medical personnel immediately attended to him.

The result gives Fletcher and Knight their expected place in the tag-team title picture, but the immediate concern coming out of the match is Borden’s condition. The young wrestler had been building momentum through his early AEW appearances, and his performance against Fletcher and Knight had once again shown flashes of his potential before the unfortunate accident brought the contest to an abrupt conclusion.

What Happens Next For Steven Borden? After AEW ALL Out 2026

Borden’s condition will now be the major question coming out of the All Out match. His early AEW run had seen him become increasingly involved alongside Darby Allin, including his televised debut and subsequent victories. His All Out match was also positioned as an important step toward the AEW World Tag Team Championship picture.

The match itself had been officially established as a number-one contender’s bout, with the winners moving toward a future AEW World Tag Team Championship opportunity.

For now, the most important development is that Borden received immediate medical attention after the awkward collision with Knight, while Fletcher and Knight were awarded the victory. Any further update regarding Borden’s physical condition will need to come from AEW or Borden himself rather than speculation.
