Steven Borden Update: Tony Schiavone Gives AEW All Out News. Steven Borden’s condition following the frightening incident at AEW All Out has received a positive update. Tony Schiavone revealed that he recently spoke with Borden and said he was doing well after the scary landing that forced officials to stop his match at the pay-per-view. (SI)
The update comes several days after Borden’s AEW pay-per-view debut ended abruptly when he collided with Kevin Knight during a double coast-to-coast attempt. While the incident was alarming, the latest comments provide encouraging information about Borden’s condition while leaving his eventual return to the ring undetermined.
Tony Schiavone Provides New Steven Borden Update
Speaking on What Happened When, Schiavone said he had spoken directly with Borden and described him as feeling fine. According to the announcer, Borden told him he had not experienced headaches or dizziness following the incident.
Schiavone also made it clear that he could not provide an official medical diagnosis. That decision belongs to AEW’s medical team, meaning the latest comments should be viewed as a positive personal update rather than medical clearance.
Sports Illustrated also reported that Borden was conscious and responsive after being taken to the hospital following the match. AEW had previously communicated that he was undergoing evaluation, including a CAT scan. (SI)
- Current update: Borden told Schiavone he was feeling fine.
- Reported symptoms: No headaches or dizziness.
- Diagnosis: No official diagnosis was provided by Schiavone.
- Return timeline: No timetable has been announced.
The situation remains one that AEW’s medical personnel will need to monitor before Borden can return to competition.
Steven Borden Was More Worried About AEW All Out
Perhaps the most striking part of Schiavone’s update was Borden’s concern about the effect the incident had on AEW All Out.
According to Schiavone, Borden was upset because he believed the accident had ruined the pay-per-view. Schiavone reassured him that this was not the case, pointing out that AEW immediately provided updates about his condition to the audience.
That sentiment is understandable given the circumstances. Borden was competing in one of the biggest matches of his AEW career, only for the contest to be stopped after the frightening collision. The match had to take a completely different direction once medical personnel became involved.
Wrestling Inc. previously described the incident as an unfortunate injury that significantly affected the atmosphere inside the arena, while also emphasizing that the situation was nobody’s fault. (Wrestling Inc.)
What Happened to Steven Borden at AEW All Out?
Borden teamed with Darby Allin against Kevin Knight and Kyle Fletcher at AEW All Out, with the winning team earning a future AEW World Tag Team Championship opportunity.
During the match, Borden and Knight attempted to dive from opposite sides of the ring. The two collided in mid-air, with Borden taking a hard landing on his head. Officials immediately checked on him before the referee ultimately stopped the contest. Knight and Fletcher were awarded the victory. (Cageside Seats)
The incident was particularly significant because All Out represented Borden’s AEW pay-per-view debut. The match was also part of his continuing emergence as a professional wrestler following his early training and development.
AEW subsequently communicated updates during the broadcast, confirming that Borden was conscious and responsive while receiving medical evaluation. Schiavone later provided another update to the live audience. (Cageside Seats)
Steven Borden’s AEW Return Remains Unclear
Despite the encouraging update, there is still no confirmed timetable for Borden’s return to the ring. Schiavone specifically noted that Borden would need to be checked before getting back into competition.
That distinction is important. Feeling well after a frightening incident does not by itself determine when a wrestler can safely compete again. The eventual decision will come through AEW’s medical evaluation and whatever clearance is required.
For now, the biggest development is that Borden has reportedly been feeling well and has not experienced the symptoms mentioned by Schiavone. Fans will likely be watching closely for any further update from AEW or Borden himself.
What’s Next for Steven Borden?
The latest Steven Borden update gives AEW fans an encouraging development after one of the most frightening moments of All Out 2026. However, his wrestling future in the immediate term remains open because no official return date has been announced.
Most importantly, Borden’s own concern that he had negatively affected the pay-per-view was answered by Schiavone with reassurance that the audience’s priority was seeing him receive proper care. Now, the focus shifts toward his medical evaluation and eventual clearance before any decision about returning to AEW competition.
