Overview
- Tony Khan confirmed Thursday that Nightingale has a broken hand but is expected to wrestle Mercedes Moné in the AEW Women’s World Championship match at All In.
- The injury was first reported after the Aug. 26 Dynamite tapings and was shown on TV when Moné targeted Nightingale’s hand in a Glasgow backstage segment.
- Khan said the break happened on the day of the Dynamite and Collision tapings and forced AEW to change plans for those shows at short notice.
- Observers note a broken hand can limit Nightingale’s core moves—such as the pounce, lariat and Doctor Bomb—and that reduced offense could shape in‑ring pacing or booking decisions at Wembley.
- Nightingale’s recent injury history includes vacating the TBS title in May with an AC sprain and returning to win the AEW Women’s World Championship on July 26, making this match a test of her resilience on Aug. 30 at Wembley Stadium.
