Why doesn’t AEWs concussion protocol include the stoppage of the match. This is the second Hardy-Guevara related concussion issue that should have involved the referee or the ringside doctor stepping in to stop the match.
I can’t put this all on Sammy. Should he have known better, yeah, but there are other factors, namely the ref should have called the match and thrown up the X. This is the second time in a year that a ref has failed to stop a match under these circumstances.
