An AEW star recently announced the reason behind the unfortunate injury she suffered at a recent show which has led to some hilarious comments from the fans on Twitter.

The star in question is none other than former WWE star CJ Perry who signed and debuted in All Elite Wrestling earlier this year at the All Out 2023 Pay-per-view event. Perry works as a manager in the company much similar to her WWE days. She currently manages Andrade El Idolo and has made it clear that she wants to be known in the same ranks as Paul Heyman as 'The Greatest Manager of All Time'.

CJ Perry recently announced that she had a finger infection that required surgery and would be hospitalized for an extended period. Perry further revealed that she was injured by a small splinter backstage at an All Elite Wrestling show which has led to a very severe backlash from the fans on Twitter towards the Jacksonville-based promotion.

The fans have taken to Twitter to react to CJ Perry's injury and have bashed All Elite Wrestling in the process.

"This is why I'm a WWE fan, I can sit back and enjoy the show without worrying about the welfare of the wrestlers backstage"
