Paul Wight gives an update on his health after having his knees replaced.
Wight has not wrestled since the Jericho Cruise in January, but has been on television as a member of the ROH Board of Directors.
Appearing on The Run Home with Joel & Fletch, Wight was asked how his knees are feeling.
"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," he said.
It is unknown if or when Wight will return to the ring.
He has not wrestled on television since the November 15, 2024 episode of AEW Dynamite when he competed in a street fight. In the bout, he was slammed onto a vehicle by Powerhouse Hobbs.
Fightful has coverage of AEW Dynamite every Wednesday beginning at 8 p.m. ET followed by a post-show review podcast on our YouTube channel.
