MJF Potentially Requires Shoulder Surgery – An update surfaces regarding MJF, the former AEW World Champion, who has grappled with injuries since November.
MJF emerged from AEW Full Gear with injuries to his shoulder and hip, reportedly sustaining a torn labrum. Despite these setbacks, he maintained a visible presence on AEW programming, culminating in headlining AEW Worlds End on December 30, where he faced Samoa Joe and conceded the title. Observers noted MJF’s perseverance through evident injuries, notably with his heavily taped shoulder.
On a recent installment of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer delved into MJF’s situation. He revealed that MJF is contemplating between undergoing surgery or pursuing rehabilitation for his injury. Meltzer highlighted that opting for surgery would entail an extended period of absence from the ring.
“He is hurt. You know, his shoulder is legitimately hurt. He could come out [on Wednesday’s Dynamite] and do a promo. Although I don’t think he will. Well, from what I was told, he is either going to have to rehab the shoulder, which is the main problem, or he may need surgery. And just judging from how severe it was, he may need that surgery, and the surgery would put him out for quite a while. He is still debating which tack to take. I think it’s probably the best thing for him to have the surgery, but it’s a long time off. Other guys do that. I mean, it’s not like it’s the end of the world to take a long time off. But it seems like a lot. You know, I mean, for his career. He’s 27 years old. He needs to get the shoulder fixed. And as good as it can be fixed because you don’t want that thing to be a mess for the rest of your career,” Meltzer stated.
