Last October, Lance Archer landed badly on a moonsault in a match against Eddie Kingston. Archer finished the match, but was sidelined until he returned to the ring in January.
Archer spoke about the injury during an appearance on Busted Open Radio:
“I feel great, Beyond blessed for the fact that I didn’t break my neck. A centimeter a different way and it could have been a completely different result. I basically gave myself an extreme version of whiplash because I bounced off my forehead. Had it been any part of the crown of my head, I probably would have been paralyzed or dead. I’m beyond blessed that didn’t happen. The medical staff (in AEW) has been extremely amazing. They kept me on the road and kept me in physical therapy with our guys and I’ve done everything they asked me to do before coming back and even before this match, the different physical exercises they’ve asked me to do, I’ve stayed on top of and they’ve been happy. I feel great,” he said.
Archer will challenge Hangman Page for the AEW Championship in a Texas Deathmatch tonight’s AEW Dynamite.
