The Blade has been absent from AEW programming for some time, and he has revealed that he has been dealing with an injury.
The Blade last wrestled at the A1 event on February 4. He has not competed for AEW/ROH since the ROH tapings on January 10. His tag team partner, The Butcher, has since appeared on AEW programming multiple times, but The Blade has not.
In a post on Instagram, The Blade explained that he has been sidelined with a back injury.
“My apologies, it’s been awhile,” The Blade wrote. “I’m currently off the road nursing a lower back injury. 2 bulging discs, L2 L3 and L4 L5. Plus two ruptured discs, L3 L4 and L5 S1. I’d like to thank @aew and @tonyrkhan for giving me this time off to heal. Plus, I’ve got the Buffalo,NY magic man pictured with me here, @anthony.albano.dpt . Time off can be a rough place for athletes mentally. Anthony’s physical therapy is helping me stay on track and I can’t sing praises high enough about the sweet science behind his training.
“I’m not sure where this journey I’m on is gonna lead. But, I have a lot of options and a great team around me and that’s a beautiful thing. Love ya everybody.”
WrestleZone wishes The Blade well in his recovery, and we will provide more information as it becomes available.
