Yuka Sakazaki Gets Hurt During AEW Rampage Match aired on 4/20

Yuka Sakazaki, a wrestler participating in the AEW double-header last night, suffered an injury during her match at the special live “4/20” episode of AEW Rampage on Saturday night, April 20, 2024, held at the Peoria Civic Center in Peoria, Illinois.

According to reports from Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com, Sakazaki sustained a legitimate leg injury during her bout with Emi Sakura. The injury occurred when she attempted a springboard move on the top rope but landed awkwardly on the floor at ringside.

Meltzer mentioned, “Yuka Sakazaki’s leg injury in her bout last night in Peoria, Ill. with Emi Sakura was legit. As of this morning, the exact injury and its ramifications weren’t clear.” He also stated, “She gutted her way through the match but the injury did change things.”

Despite the injury, Sakazaki showed tremendous resilience and went on to win the match with a super-plex for the pin fall victory.

Updates on Sakazaki’s condition and recovery will be provided as more information becomes available. Stay tuned for further developments.
