A highly anticipated match on tonight's episode of AEW Collision: Homecoming came to an abrupt end following an unfortunate incident. One of the stars involved in the bout suffered a serious injury.

Tonight's show was not live as it was taped last Tuesday after Dynamite: Title Tuesday. One of the matches on the card was Kota Ibushi's AEW Collision debut against Josh Alexander. On paper, this was a match everyone was eager to see, but unfortunately, things did not go as planned.

Kota Ibushi was said to have sustained a major injury during the match, and this was immediately called off. It was reported that he was stretchered out after the match.

The contest aired tonight and showed the unfortunate moment when Ibushi got injured. There was a point in the match where Josh Alexander was on the top rope and had him on his shoulder in a fireman's carry. The Japanese star suddenly slipped off his shoulders and fell legs first to the ringside. This was a scary fall from that height.

Referee Bryce Remsburg and AEW Ringside Physician Doc. Sampson immediately rushed over to check on Kota Ibushi. After a while, Remsburg began the 10-count. The Golden Star was not able to get back on his own strength, which led him to lose via count-out.

This gave Josh Alexander tonight's win, but it was far from an ideal way to finish this highly anticipated bout between these two top stars. It was reported that Ibushi had sustained a broken femur.

It is still unclear what his injury timeline will be, as doctors need to evaluate the severity of the injury. This is an unfortunate setback for a great return to the ring by The Golden Star.
