QT Marshall has defended AEW after Eric Bischoff criticized the promotion over an injury suffered by Steven Borden, the son of WWE Hall of Famer Sting, during All Out 2026.
Borden was hurt while performing a coast-to-coast spot in a tag team match pairing him with Darby Allin against Kevin Knight and Kyle Fletcher, according to WrestleZone. The incident occurred during what was described as the biggest match of Borden’s career to date, per F4W Online.
Bischoff addressed the injury on his podcast, criticizing the coast-to-coast move itself and arguing that Tony Khan bears responsibility for what happened to Borden. “That’s his responsibility,” Bischoff said of Khan, according to WrestleZone’s report on the podcast comments.
Marshall responded by looking to clarify the circumstances surrounding the injury and defending Borden, according to F4W Online, though specific details of Marshall’s remarks beyond that defense were not included in the available reporting.
Neither source detailed the extent of Borden’s injury or whether it would affect his status going forward, and AEW has not been reported to have issued its own statement on the matter beyond what is reflected in the coverage of Bischoff’s comments and Marshall’s response.
