Gabe Kidd Sidelined Indefinitely Following Shoulder Injury at AEW Dynasty

AEW fans received a sobering update following the Dynasty pay-per-view as President Tony Khan confirmed that Gabe Kidd is “out indefinitely” due to a shoulder injury. The injury occurred during a high-stakes AEW World Trios Championship match, leading to Kidd being escorted from the ring mid-bout.

The Incident at AEW Dynasty

Gabe Kidd, competing alongside Clark Connors and David Finlay as part of the trio known as The Dogs, suffered a significant injury during their title defense at Dynasty. The match saw The Dogs lose the AEW Trios Titles to The Conglomeration, consisting of Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong, and the returning Kyle O’Reilly.

The severity of the situation became apparent when Kidd had to be removed from the match and taken to the back. Although early reports from analysts like Bryan Alvarez suggested a dislocated shoulder, the official confirmation came later during the post-event press conference.

Official Status and Medical Update

Speaking at the post-Dynasty media scrum, Tony Khan confirmed that Kidd is facing an indefinite absence. Khan stated that the talent is currently being evaluated by medical staff to determine the full extent of the damage, noting, “Gabe is out indefinitely. It’s a shoulder injury—we will be evaluating him.”

Kidd later provided further details via Instagram Stories, confirming that he suffered a dislocated shoulder. He mentioned that it took the AEW medical team nearly two hours to pop the shoulder back into place after the event.

Key Takeaways: Gabe Kidd Injury

• Injury Type: Dislocated shoulder.
• Event: Occurred during the AEW Trios Title match at Dynasty.
• Current Status: Out indefinitely.
• Team Impact: The Dogs (Kidd, Connors, and Finlay) will be a man down for the foreseeable future.

Impact on The Dogs and AEW

The timing of the injury is particularly unfortunate for the group. The Dogs had only won the Trios Titles on Collision the day before Dynasty, meaning their reign lasted less than 24 hours. With Kidd sidelined, the future of the trio’s pursuit of the championships remains uncertain.

Despite the injury, Kidd took to social media to voice his frustration, targeting the medical and security teams as well as his opponents in The Conglomeration. He maintained that Clark Connors and David Finlay will continue to “f*ck everyone up” until his return.

What’s Next for Gabe Kidd?

As of April 13, 2026, the exact timeline for Kidd’s return remains unknown. He is currently under medical evaluation to see if further surgery or extensive rehabilitation is required. Given his status as a highly talented prospect in AEW, his recovery will be a focal point for the promotion as they determine how to handle The Dogs’ positioning on the roster during his absence.
