On November 4, Karl Anderson posted a photo of his arm in a brace and the message that he would see fans after WrestleMania.
Speaking on Talk N Shop, Anderson revealed that he underwent surgery for a torn rotator cuff tendon and a partially torn labrum. He expects to be out six to nine months.
"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," said Anderson.
He said that he might be able to work through the torn labrum, but the torn rotator cuff was going to require surgery. He said that he'll be in the brace for six weeks.
Fightful wishes Anderson the best in his recovery.
