During the opening match of the G1 Climax 35, the current champion suffered an injury, causing him to pull out of his second match. The event’s second night began with the announcement that Kid, who was seen entering on crutches, would be sidelined due to knee issues, leading to the cancellation of his scheduled championship bout. Despite this setback, Kid expressed his determination to continue competing in the G1 Climax once he recovers, although the timeline for his return remains uncertain. Kid, noted for frequently appearing on AEW television alongside Death Rider, was defeated in his opening contest on July 19th by AEW star Konosuke Takeshita. The G1 Climax 35 is set to run from July 19th to August 17th. Updates on Kid’s injury and status for the remainder of the tournament will be shared as new information becomes available.
Fan Take: This development is significant for AEW fans as Kid’s injury impacts one of their rising talents, potentially altering the dynamics of AEW-New Japan relations in the G1 tournament. Keeping a close eye on Kid’s recovery will be crucial, as his return could bring exciting matchups and fresh momentum to the wrestling scene.
