Watch: Lance Archer's nasty fall on AEW Dynamite; possibly injured
Lance Archer possibly suffered an injury during his singles match against Eddie Kingston on this week's edition of AEW Dynamite. The two performers engaged in a fun and energetic brawl.
The two were fighting for a spot in the semi-finals of the AEW World Title Tournament. Things started on a heated note with Kingston unleashing a pre-match beatdown on the Murderhawk Monster.
After being dominated for some time, Archer found his way back into the match and, from thereon, the bout became an evenly-contested affair. However, just when things were progressing smoothly, Lance Archer took to the top rope to deliver a Moonsault but mistimed it.
