The injury to Juice Robinson that led to him being removed from the Continental Classic was a snapped fibula in his left leg and not a broken foot as was first told to us over the weekend before the X-ray came back.
The injury happened in his November 27 match with Will Ospreay in the tournament from Chicago, which aired on Collision on Saturday afternoon.
The injury took place at the 2:56 mark of the match where Robinson blocked a sunset flip. It was not apparent on television at all that anything was wrong and he didn’t react like he had been hurt. However, a still photo from a different angle showed the left foot bent at a terrible looking angle.
Robinson continued the match and showed no visible signs of an injury, moving well and coming off the top rope at one point. The only indication of a problem was a few minutes later when Ospreay went for a tijeras or huracanrana and Robinson’s left leg appeared to give out. There were no other signs of a problem for the remainder of the match.
The X-rays showed a break in the fibula slightly above the foot. We don’t have an estimated time of recovery, but he is out of the tournament and Tony Khan yesterday announced Komander as his replacement.
Robinson was known to be injured since he was on crutches since the match.
