Karl Anderson has provided more insight into his injury and how long he expects to be out of action.
Earlier in the month, Karl Anderson posted a photo of himself in a hospital bed with his arm in a sling, noting that he would be out of action until after WrestleMania 41.
Providing more information on his Talk N Shop podcast, Anderson stated that he felt the injury get progressively worse over the past few weeks. Finally going to the doctors, the former Tag Team Champion was diagnosed as having a torn rotator cuff and partially torn labrum.
“It happened two months ago, I felt something in a match, and didn’t think anything of it because that’s what we do. The next week, something else happened in a match again. ‘That hurt a little worse,’ but still thought nothing of it because that’s how we’ve always rolled. We had three or four more matches, and each other, progressively, I realized, ‘This thing hurts.’ I wasn’t able to sleep at night because it was aching and throbbing. ‘Let me tell somebody.’
I talked to the WWE doctors who handled it right away and they immediately scheduled me for an anthrogram. They immediately saw it was a torn rotator cuff tendon and a partially torn labrum,”
Anderson also added that he expects to be out for 6 to 9 months following the surgery.
