Update on Lance Archer After Scary Moonsault Spot on Dynamite

Lance Archer is said to be OK after a scary looking top rope moonsault attempt where he landed on the top of his head on tonight’s Dynamite.

During a match with Eddie Kingston, Archer went to the top for a moonsault, but didn’t fully rotate and landed on his forehead as Kingston moved out of the way. He was down on the mat for several seconds as the referee checked on him, then rolled out of the ring to be looked at by AEW’s ringside doctor. After a few seconds, he rolled back into the ring and was immediately rolled up by Kingston to end the match.

Wow. Hope #LanceArcher is okay. That was very scary looking. #AEWDynamite #FakeMyA**! 🙏🏽😖 pic.twitter.com/0BaaDxiKMy

Archer tweeted after the match:

I’ll live! Thank ya Lord!
