10. Hangman Page suffers a scary concussion – AEW Dynamite, October 18, 2022

What started as a hard-hitting AEW World Championship match between Jon Moxley and Hangman Adam Page turned into a terrifying moment that silenced the entire arena. Midway through the bout, Moxley delivered a stiff lariat that flipped Hangman inside out, but he didn’t get up. Referee Paul Turner immediately called for medical attention and the match was stopped. Hangman was stretchered out live on air and it wasn’t a storyline. AEW later confirmed it was a legitimate concussion and for a moment, fans feared the worst. The timing, the live stoppage, and the uncertainty made this one of the most shocking injury moments in AEW history. Thankfully, Hangman made a full recovery and returned stronger than ever, but this incident was a chilling reminder of how real the risks are in that ring.

9. Jon Moxley Gets a Concussion – AEW Grand Slam, September 20, 2023

If Hangman Page’s injury was a wake-up call, what happened to Jon Moxley nearly a year later was déjà vu, but this time he was on the receiving end. At AEW Grand Slam 2023, Moxley defended the international championship against Rey Fenix. The match was fast-paced and physical, but it took a frightening turn when Fenix delivered a devastating driver. Not once, but twice. After the first attempt, it was clear something was off. Moxley wasn’t moving like himself. Reports later confirmed what many feared.

Jon Moxley had suffered a concussion during the match. What made it worse? He was originally supposed to win. The finish had to be changed mid-match, and Fenix was crowned the new champion in an improvised ending. Just like with Hangman, fans were left shaken. Moxley is known for being tough as nails, but even the toughest can be knocked out cold in an instant. This was another brutal reminder that anything can happen, even to the hardest-hitting guy in the game.
