AEW wrestler undergoes surgery
Dralístico had surgery today.
The LFI member suffered an injury to his ear in two different matches recently. He worked through it for a period but was eventually told he’d need surgery to fix it.
Dralistico revealed on Wednesday that he’s having the surgery today, writing, “The day has arrived. 🚑🏥 #AEW”
Dralístico hasn’t wrestled since the October 29 episode of Collision, when he teamed with Sammy Guevara and The Beast Mortos in a loss to Komander, Roderick Strong, and Mark Briscoe.
Bryan Alvarez addressed Dralistico’s injury last month, writing, “Dralistico suffered injuries to his ear in two different matches. He also worked through it since he was hoping to get regular work on the main roster, but eventually it became too painful and he was told he’d need surgery to fix it.”
Dralístico’s brother and LFI stablemate Rush is also out of action and expected to have surgery. He had been working through knee injuries he’s been dealing with for years. As a result of the injury, Rush and Sammy Guevara vacated the ROH Tag Team Championships and Rush was removed from the lineup for Final Battle.

On Monday, Rush posted a photo of him by a set of free weights at the gym:
