Jake Atlas has confirmed the worst.
Atlas took to social media to confirm that he suffered a torn ACL in his match against Adam Cole that aired on the January 7 episode of AEW Rampage.
Atlas said he has undergone successful surgery for the injury and will begin rehab.
Hi everyone! Quick update :)
My injury from my match with Adam Cole is, unfortunately, a torn ACL. I'm in good spirits, though. AEW has been extremely supportive throughout & surgery yesterday was a success. I'm disappointed that this occurred so soon after my return to wrestling & joining AEW, BUT I'm not going anywhere. I'm not quitting. I worked diligently with rehab before surgery & I look forward to getting straight to work on rehab now post-surgery so that I can get back in the ring as soon as possible & do what I do best.
