Former WWE Champion set to miss WrestleMania with injury.
Arguably one of the most popular stars on the roster and an integral part of the faction, ‘The Club’, Karl Anderson has been confirmed to be out for a significant period. Anderson’s last bout was against Hank And Tank in a dark match on the October 1st episode of NXT.
Dealing with a torn rotator cuff tendon, and a partially torn labrum, and having undergone successful surgery, Anderson recently shared a realistic timeline for his return. During the latest edition of ‘Talk’n Shop‘ podcast, former tag-team champion Karl Anderson commented,
I am out indefinitely. I’d say at least six or seven more months with a torn rotator cuff and torn labrum.”

Six to seven months from December results in his return timeline being around June or July, which essentially means Anderson missing out on WrestleMania. Except for their tense relationship with AJ Styles earlier this year, Anderson and Luke Gallows were not much featured on the main roster.
More Details On WWE Star Karl Anderson’s Injury
In an episode of his Talk N Shop podcast, Karl Anderson shared more information on his injury. Anderson believed his injury had turned progressively worse over the past few weeks.
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.’
