Former AEW and ROH Champion Brian Cage Updates Fans on Injury Return
Brian Cage, a prominent figure in All Elite Wrestling (AEW), has been out of action since March due to a severe quadriceps tear sustained during an independent show in Los Angeles. This injury is expected to keep him sidelined for approximately a year. In a recent social media update, Cage revealed a concerning development regarding his recovery.
Cage, known for his involvement in Team Taz alongside Ricky Starks and Hook, shared that his knee surgery didn't yield the expected results. He stated, 'There is an issue with the operation on my right knee. No amount of therapy, modalities, stem cells, or peptides will fix this uphill battle. I must undergo another surgery to address the problem.'
This prolonged absence marks the longest Cage has been away from the ring in his career. However, he remains optimistic, hoping to return as a stronger version of himself, 'the machine.'
Cage's situation is not unique in the wrestling world. Other top stars like Will Ospreay and MJF have also faced significant injuries and personal commitments. Ospreay, for instance, is making steady progress in his recovery after neck surgery but is still far from returning to the ring. MJF, on the other hand, has been absent for several months due to filming commitments for 'Violent Night 2,' with his return timeline yet to be confirmed.
As Cage navigates his recovery, the wrestling community eagerly awaits his return, especially given the ongoing storyline involving the Don Callis Family. The potential role Cage could play in this feud adds an intriguing layer to the narrative. The Takedown on SI extends its best wishes for a swift and safe recovery to Cage, hoping he can rejoin the action soon.
