AEW wrestler The Blade undergoes successful back fusion surgery
The Blade went under the knife recently.
The 44-year-old has been out of action since February with a lower back injury. He posted to Instagram on Tuesday to say he recently had successful back fusion surgery.
“Back fusion was a success 👍 Thank you to everyone for your continued support ❤️ Means a lot to this Grizzled Vet Utility Brother.”
“Crazy you’re already walking!!” Allysin Kay responded to the post.
During a virtual autograph signing in late June, The Blade expressed hope he might be able to return to the ring “in a couple of months.”
“My back’s bad, it’s slowly but surely getting better but I’m hoping to be back in a couple of months,” he said.
His partner, The Bunny, hasn’t wrestled in over a year and was removed from the AEW roster page in November. She said during the same virtual signing that she’s currently on a hiatus from wrestling.
“I’m figure skating right now and I’m loving it. I’m acting and I’m taking a little hiatus from breaking my body weekly,” Bunny said. “19 years, I think I deserve a little break. Never say never but as of right now, I’m really enjoying my figure skating and acting. It’s very fun.”
“I have a project coming up but I can’t talk about it yet but I do have a project coming up that’s very exciting. It’s horror-related,” she added.
