AEW Star Undergoing Procedure For Broken Foot Injury

The world of professional wrestling is a hardcore landscape where injuries are a major part of the athletes’ lives, but they are known to be overcome with surgery and rehabilitation. Recently, AEW star Matt Sydal became the latest person to announce his recovery from an injury.

On the other hand, Sydal had already been dealing with a knee injury that has kept him off AEW TV for months. Fortunately, his ACL and PCL remain intact, and he came back last month for a match.

However, on June 14, Matt Sydal took to his X to announce that he would undergo a procedure for another injury, his right foot, after enduring pain for 12 years. The surgeon will need to break and re-fuse three bones, using hardware to set his toes into the joints.

“After 12 years of suffering, I’m getting my right foot fixed today. The surgeon has to break and re-fuse three bones, and use hardware to set my toes into the joints. Thank you to @AEW and our Medical Staff for the care. Thanks to the fans who’ve stuck with me the whole time. Love you all! The best is yet to come…”
