An AEW fan favorite has been pulled from his title match next week due to an injury, according to Tony Khan's recent announcement. Now, fans are reacting to Hologram seemingly being put on the shelf and replaced in his championship bout by Orange Cassidy.

The former Aramis made his All Elite Wrestling debut around July last year, where he was presented with a new gimmick and ring name, "Hologram." The luchador has been dominant inside the squared circle since then, boasting an impressive undefeated singles record in the Jacksonville-based company. The rising star was set to put his winning streak on the line against Kyle Fletcher in a TNT Championship match next week on AEW Dynamite.

However, on this weekend's edition of Collision, The Protostar ambushed Hologram backstage, in the aftermath of which Tony Khan announced that the masked star will likely be out of commission for the rest of the year due to injury. Hologram's Conglomeration stablemate, Orange Cassidy, has been announced as his replacement against Fletcher this upcoming Wednesday.

Fans have now taken to X/Twitter to share their reactions to the latest update on Hologram. Users voiced their sympathy for the 26-year-old and wished him a speedy recovery. Commenters also bemoaned the fact that the Mexican star missed out on the opportunity to face Kyle Fletcher, while at the same time expressing excitement for The Aussie Arrow's upcoming match against Orange Cassidy, hoping it will be as good as a singles match between AJ Styles and Finn Balor.

One user also speculated on whether Hologram had sustained an injury during his trios match this past Wednesday, and the implications of his hiatus on the seemingly imminent debut of his rival, "El Clon".
