Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

He was scheduled to be present at the Knoxville Fanboy Expo, however, Race experienced some medical complications en route to the venue. He was immediately hospitalized on Thursday night and has been kept under medical observation since then.

All Elite Wrestling's Fight for the Fallen may not have reached the heights of Double or Nothing but it was still a solid event filled with many entertaining matches.

The show garnered favourable reactions with Kenny Omega's 23-minute contest against Cima being universally adjudged as the match of the night. While it was a great 'charity event', AEW were dealt with a few unfortunate injury blows.

Britt Baker suffered a concussion during her tag team match which happened as a result of a kick from Bea Priestley. The concussion was said to be serious. Baker seems to be doing much better now if her recent Twitter activity is taken into account.

The other superstar who suffered an injury at Fight for the Fallen was MJF. Maxwell Jacob Friedman is one of the hottest heels in all of pro wrestling at the moment and he gave us another example of his natural talent at Fight for the Fallen.

MJF's night ended with an elbow injury which forced him to miss the next day's show. In an update, the injury is a minor one and he is already back to doing his thing inside the ring.
