Skye Blue's boyfriend issues a big update on her agonizing injury setback
AEW fans have spent the last 10 days concerned with Skye Blue and her health after she suffered an unfortunate in-ring injury on Collision. Blue's boyfriend and fellow wrestler, Kyle Fletcher, has now provided an update on her situation.
Blue has been out of action since suffering an apparent knee injury during AEW Collision on July 20, while wrestling Hikaru Shida for the first time ever. The former tag team partners were forced to stop the match, and then The Shining Samurai was declared the winner as medics tended to the upstart. Tony Khan later confirmed an ankle injury to the 24-year-old.
Shida offered a rematch to Blue the following day, but it looks like the bout will have to wait. Kyle Fletcher took to X/Twitter today to reveal that his girlfriend just underwent surgery. He shared a photo of the Chicagoan outside of a hospital unit, with a cast on and her crutches nearby.
"Send prayers & cat toys," Kyle Fletcher wrote with the photo below.
Fletcher and Skye Blue have been dating for at least a year. The Don Callis Family member went public with the relationship in June 2023. Blue previously dated Dante Martin.

AEW has not announced a timeframe for Blue's return to action, but the Wrestling Observer Radio recently reported that the 24-year-old is expected to be on the shelf for a while due to the broken ankle. The rising star took to Instagram shortly after the injury and issued a defiant three-word statement.

Blue began her pro wrestling career in 2017 at the age of 18. Her AEW debut came in April 2021, but she continued working for Tony Khan's companies until signing a full-time All Elite Wrestling contract on April 7, 2023. She has also appeared for the NWA and various indie promotions and is a one-time Warrior Wrestling Women's Champion.
