AEW name allegedly suffers broken jaw after "heinous attack"
On February 20th, 2023, during AEW Elevation at the Sames Auto Arena in Laredo, Texas, an unfortunate incident took place during the main event. The Lucha Brothers, accompanied by Alex Abrahantes, faced Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari, who were accompanied by Mark Sterling.
As the match progressed, the Lucha Brothers executed their signature moves, and just when it seemed like they were about to secure a victory, Mark Sterling intervened, attempting to break up the Fear Factor. However, his interference didn't go as planned. The Lucha Brothers hit Sterling and both Nese and Daivari with superkicks, leaving Sterling in bad shape.
Later on, Mark Sterling took to Twitter to update his followers on his condition and confirmed that he might have a broken jaw as a result of the "heinous attack" during the main event.
"In regards to tonight’s @AEW main event… I’m ok. First, It was a heinous attack and they think my jaw might be broken. Second, preliminary numbers for the live stream were record breaking! I’m being told, the highest rated Elevation of all time! Tony and Ari did it again!" Sterling wrote
