Satoshi Kojima Clarifies Elbow Drop Low Blow To CM Punk Was An "Accident"
The two-time former IWGP Heavyweight Champion Satoshi Kojima apologized to CM Punk after hitting the latter with an elbow drop that landed a little low.
'The Second City Saviour' squared off against Kojima in the first round of the Men’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament at AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door.
The Japanese legend’s strong-style offense helped get the crowd behind him as he took the fight to Punk. However, in the end, a GTS was enough for Punk to pick up the win over the veteran star in a match that went on for 15 minutes.
During the match, Satoshi Kojima delivered a diving elbow rope to Punk from the top rope. The elbow drop may have gone a little wayward however as Kojima landed on what Taz might call “yam bag Jones.”

Taking to social media Kojima was a bit more direct about where he landed as he offered an apology to his opponent:
“My elbow drop hit his cock. sorry. But it’s not on purpose. Accident. Because I don’t have that kind of technology.”
In another Tweet, he wrote:
Please don't call me an 「elbow-cock-drop」
It's just an elbow drop.
