AEW has witnessed some of the gruesome mess-ups from its talents over the course of their three-year existence. Most of the botches mostly come from the head area, usually from a suplex or a top rope maneuver.

Just recently at All Out Zero Hour, Ruby Soho landed head first after a brutal kick from Tay Melo.

Taking to Twitter, Mantell shared a video compilation of the botches that occurred in the promotion. The former WWE manager then left with a question as to what AEW should do about their inexperienced stars to lessen the botches and avoid possible legal issues.
