The incident followed a segment aired on AEW Collision featuring a video from Hologram’s rival, Clon. Tony Khan tweeted that Hologram likely will miss the remainder of 2025 due to the severity of his injuries. The tweet stated,
“Get well soon, @AEWHologram! After an unprovoked attack backstage at #AEWCollision tonight by TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher, Hologram has significant injuries. We’re all cheering for Hologram + wishing him the best in his recovery. Sadly, Hologram likely is out the rest of 2025.”

Recent Performance and Current Status
At 26 years old, Hologram last competed in a trios match on AEW Dynamite, where he secured a pinfall victory against Hechicero. The timing and extent of his injury remain unclear, and there is no confirmation about when exactly he was hurt or the full seriousness of his condition. In light of his absence, Orange Cassidy has been announced as Hologram’s replacement against Kyle Fletcher for the upcoming AEW Dynamite event.
Background on Hologram’s Career and Previous Setbacks
Since debuting in July 2024, Hologram has maintained an undefeated streak in singles and tag matches. He experienced a prior injury resulting in several months away from competition, starting from October 2024 through February 2025, due to an ankle injury sustained at WrestleDream. During that period, he also took time off to welcome the birth of his child. The status of the Clon character, closely tied to Hologram’s storyline, remains uncertain while he recovers.
Implications and Future Prospects
This injury and the expected lengthy recovery period could have significant effects on AEW’s ongoing narratives involving Hologram and his rivals such as Kyle Fletcher and Clon. The decision to have Orange Cassidy step in indicates the promotion’s efforts to maintain momentum despite this setback. Fans and officials alike will be watching closely as Hologram’s rehabilitation progresses, with hopes for a strong return beyond 2025.
