Wrestlers put their safety at stake for entertaining audiences as a part of common practice. But sometimes things get so severe that it causes more worry among the fans than amusement. That’s exactly what happened during Wednesday night, AEW Dynamite.

One of the most hyped AEW matches between AAA Mega Champion El Hijo Del Vikingo and Kenny Omega exceeded the expectations of millions who thought to have something magical out of it, but that didn’t match up to what they got to witness. The dream match was originally supposed to take place back in 2021 but somehow got postponed.

The 25-year-old rising Mexican star Vikingo had probably the biggest match of his career and showed the world who he is in case they don’t know already. In a surprising course of events, Vikingo did unthinkable acrobatics that almost led a broken neck.

El Hijo Del Vikingo left fans worried

Though the 5 ft 6-inch wrestler eventually surrendered to the Cleaner’s iconic One Winged Angel finisher, fans showered love and admiration for his bold, spectacular moves. That being said, fans also get as concerned after his risky moves in the match. The whole crowd in disbelief at what was happening. It was so intense that it didn’t go unnoticed by the other sports stars, too.

An Instagram post shows a reel of the risky yet magical moment of this week’s Dynamite episode. Popular MMA star and Ronda Rousey‘s archrival Miesha Tate thinks, ‘it was about an inch along at from a broken neck’. The entire wrestling community didn’t take long to reciprocate her sentiments.

Most of the fans expressed their utter fear and concern over the young Mexican talent’s well-being.

Some of the reactions were ‘His neck?‘, ‘His head. I hope he’s alright.‘, ‘Holy hell, his head and neck. Recalling the out-of-this-world move, one of them wrote, ‘Wtf! That’s crazy!.’

A few of them didn’t completely realize the aftermath before watching the reel closely. One user wrote, ‘Daaaamn I didn’t realize he hit his head. He landed on his neck on the move before this too’.

Following the popular trend, one of the users compared this with WWE and thinks it’s not okay to put such a career-ending risk on the performers. He came up with, ‘And that’s an example why most people like to be in WWE how do you allow moves that can end your career like that just my opinion.’

However, the cross-promotion match can definitely be considered one of the best in Dynamite’s recent history as it’s collectively acknowledged by the fans who labeled it as ‘simply incredible’.

El Hijo del Vikingo: A star in the making

The promising young star has already set a decorative career as one of the top AAA talents of the current time. His 472+ day reign as AAA Mega Champion put him in iconic status. With a bunch of accolades in his bucket, the star was ranked the 7th best wrestler in 2022.

While it’s too early to predict, the wrestling world may already have a future legend in the 25-year-old star.
