Pro Wrestling Guerrilla announced tonight that Flip Gordon will be unable to perform at Hand of Doom on Friday in Los Angeles, CA. Taking his place against Bandido will be ACH.
Due to an injury, Flip Gordon will not be at Hand of Doom. ACH returns to PWG to take on Bandido!

The news comes after Flip Gordon was injured during a match with Tracy Williams at Ring of Honor’s Honor Reigns Supreme event last night in Concord, NC. Gordon appeared to have injured his knee while performing a running dropkick. The match continued for a few moments before it was stopped after Gordon rolled out of the ring in pain.
Ring of Honor General Manager Greg Gilleland told POST Wrestling that Gordon, along with Chris Sabin, suffered an injury at the event. It is unknown how severe both injuries are at the moment.
"The severity for each injury will not be known until further tests are concluded, but we wish them a speedy recovery and hope they can return to the ROH ring soon.”

ACH’s appearance at PWG Hand of Doom could also possibly be his last, as it has been reported that he has signed with WWE.
PWG’s Hand of Doom is also set to feature Trevor Lee’s final appearance in the promotion. At CWF Mid-Atlantic’s event in Gibsonville, NC on Saturday night, Lee announced that he officially signed a contract with WWE. Lee is currently scheduled to challenge Jeff Cobb for the PWG World Championship in the main event on Friday at Hand of Doom.
