AEW star Paul Wight has provided another positive update regarding his knees.
Previously a part of Chris Jericho’s cruise, Wight was seen talking to fans and saying that he needed to get knee surgery, which was evident by his in-ring work while on the cruise.
Following on from the AEW star sharing a positive update with footage of him working out in the gym, the former World Champion elaborated further on his condition after undergoing double knee replacement surgery.
Appearing on The Run Home with Joel & Fletch, Wight stated that his quality of life has improved since the surgery and that he is able to work out in the gym more:
“Knees are good. They’re both fake so there are no problems with them. They’re both brand new. There is no bone-on-bone arthritis. I have a full replacement on my left knee and a partial replacement on my right knee. They are straight, I’m not knot-kneed anymore. We’re doing pretty good. A couple months back, I was working out, and I sheered the titanium button off the kneecap. There is nothing you can do about that. They just had to go in and take the button out because it protects the kneecap. With me sheering off the titanium pin, they just looked at me and went, ‘Eh, there is nothing we can do, it might get sore.’
Some days, if I work out a little too hard, it gets a little sore. So far, it’s coming along good. We’re deadlifting, squatting, leg pressing. Everything is coming along good. I’m very pleased with it so far, considering all the surgeries I’ve had, we’re turning the corner, and I’m really happy about it.”
In recent news, Paul Wight explained how he had a role in a 2000s music video.
