Soho suffered a lot of blows throughout the bout while Sammy ruthlessly beat her. The penultimate move was when Melo delivered Soho a Tay-KO. It seemed quite painful because of how hard it landed. It appeared to harm Ruby’s nose. She grabbed at her face desperately and, unfortunately, completely forgot to drop her shoulders in preparation for the pinfall.

Another person questioned the incident.
How in the world can AEW fans justify this carelessness of not protecting their co-workers? Ruby could have had her neck broken. She should ask for her release after this disaster.

There are several instances in the world of professional wrestling where wrestlers got brutally injured as a consequence of one big mistake.
Former WWE superstar Paige serves as one of the best examples of this. She quit pro wrestling at the age of 25 after suffering a neck injury. During a house show tag team match, Sasha Banks kicked her in the back, which led to serious injuries and she had to retire.
Thus, fans are about Soho as she is one of the top talents.
