AEW star shares an unfortunate update: "I popped a couple ribs out of place"

An AEW star just provided an unfortunate update. This star has been with the company for a long time.

Aubrey Edwards is one of the most well-known referees in All Elite Wrestling. Apart from being a referee, Aubrey Edwards wears many hats in the company. She is involved in the ongoing development of All Elite Wrestling Games due to her background in software engineering and video game development.

She is also the company's project co-ordinator and is the co-host of AEW Unrestricted with Tony Schiavone. Edwards is a mainstay on TV, but she could miss the next few weeks due to an unfortunate incident.

During a recent appearance on the Bryan and Vinny Show, Aubrey Edwards revealed that she recently knocked a couple of ribs out of place and hurt her neck as a result of this.

“Yeah, but it’s all kind of the same, right? I knocked a couple ribs out of place last week and my neck hurt, but is it my shoulder? I popped a couple ribs out of place.” [H/T PWMania]

When asked how she injured herself, Aubrey simply responded, "Breathing."

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
