Karl Anderson Reveals Timeline for WWE Return After Undergoing Surgery

Karl Anderson recently shared an update that has wrestling fans rallying behind him. On November 4, Anderson posted a photo of his arm in a brace with a message indicating that he’ll be out of action until after WrestleMania. The WWE star later detailed the extent of his injuries on Talk N Shop, revealing that he underwent surgery for a torn rotator cuff tendon and a partially torn labrum, with an expected recovery timeline of six to nine months.

Anderson shared how the injury unfolded, explaining that it initially seemed like a minor issue. “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,” Anderson said. The pain gradually worsened, impacting his ability to sleep. “I wasn’t able to sleep at night because it was aching and throbbing. ‘Let me tell somebody.'”

When he informed WWE’s medical team, they took swift action. “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 explained.

While he considered working through the torn labrum, the rotator cuff injury ultimately required surgery. He noted that he’ll be in a brace for at least six weeks during the recovery process.

Ringside News extends well wishes to Karl Anderson for a successful recovery and looks forward to seeing him return to the ring stronger than ever.
