AEW Star Needs Surgery

Josh Alexander has confirmed the worst. In an emotional video posted to social media on Friday, the Don Callis Family member revealed that he suffered a serious knee injury during the AEW World Trios Championship match on Collision and will undergo surgery this Wednesday. The injury occurred when Alexander, Konosuke Takeshita, and El Clon faced JetSpeed and Mistico, with Alexander having to be helped to the back following the match.

“Last week on AEW Collision, I suffered an injury. I just found out minutes ago how serious this was. I know I’ve been limping and been in pain for a week. But my surgeon told me I’m gonna need surgery this coming Wednesday. My knee injury is pretty severe. I will not be cleared to compete. And there’s no timetable set right now for when I will be back,” Alexander said.

Josh Alexander Emotional About His AEW and Canadian Wrestling Career During Injury Announcement

The announcement carried genuine emotional weight. Alexander addressed thoughts about his career passing through his mind during the difficult week since the injury. “My AEW career, my wrestling career pops through your mind.” He also expressed that his passion for Canadian wrestling and MLP remains undiminished despite the setback. “I would defend my Canadian championship still with one leg if I had to. Because MLP, Canadian wrestling — it means everything to me. It’s who I’ve been for 20-plus years.” Everyone wishes Alexander a full and speedy recovery as he heads into surgery on Wednesday.
