Professional wrestling is a physically demanding sport that can take a toll on the body, leading to injuries that require medical attention. One of the top stars in AEW & ROH, Eddie Kingston, recently underwent hernia surgery and is expected to be out of action for the next several weeks.
Kingston announced during a recent ROH TV taping that he would be taking time off to recover from his surgery. He confirmed on social media that he had undergone surgery to repair a tear in his abdominal wall, a common procedure for hernia treatment.
Hernias occur when an organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall, causing pain and discomfort. Surgery is often required to repair the tear and prevent the hernia from recurring. Recovery time can vary depending on the individual and the severity of the hernia, but it typically takes several weeks to fully heal.
For Kingston, the surgery means that he will miss out on planned matches and storylines in the coming weeks. However, he is expected to make a full recovery and return to the ring in six weeks’ time, according to his announcement at the ROH TV taping.
The setback is not uncommon in the world of professional wrestling, where injuries and surgeries are a frequent occurrence. Wrestlers push their bodies to the limit in order to entertain fans and achieve success in the industry, often putting their health at risk in the process.
Despite the challenges, Kingston remains one of the top stars in the business and is highly valued by both AEW and ROH. With his talent and experience, he is sure to make a strong comeback once he has fully recovered from his surgery.
