AEW referee Aubrey Edwards talked about refereeing the Women’s Title Steel Cage match last week on Dynamite and having to deal with thumbtacks on Busted Open Radio.
Edwards revealed that some thumbtacks got underneath her pants, causing her some cuts to her knees: “I actually got them on my knees pretty bad. I wear kneepads under my pants, but they are the McDavid ones and are a little thinner, so they have the hex things that spread, and [the tacks] went through the plastic. My arms are okay today, but we taped Rampage after Dynamite and having to count pins in the main event when your knees are bloody and cut up is not a fun experience and I don’t recommend it to anybody.”
Another incident had occurred while she was already dealing with the scars during Rampage: “Thankfully, I wasn’t bleeding the next morning, but I was still bleeding at Rampage. If you watch it back, I have bandages over my arms because every time I hit a pin, I would start bleeding again and that changes the story a bit between Keith Lee and Max Caster. Also, I won’t say when it happened, but I accidentally got kicked in the leg pretty hard earlier in the night, just a little too close to the action, it happens frequently, but I had to no-sell it because I don’t want to change the story. I have this deep quad contusion as well.”
