Josh Alexander has confirmed reports of an injury, with the Don Callis Family member noting that he will need to undergo surgery. It was reported last week that Josh Alexander was believed to have been injured in the AEW World Trios Championship match pitting JetSpeed and Mistico against Alexander, Konosuke Takeshita, and El Clon. The match was taped for Collision and Alexander had to be helped to the back afterward.
Alexander posted a video to Twitter on Friday. He confirmed that he suffered a serious injury and will be undergoing surgery this Wednesday.
“All right, I’m just gonna get into this,” Alexander started. “Last week on AEW Collision, I suffered an injury. And when you suffer injuries, you don’t know how severe they are. I just found out minutes ago how serious this was. I know I’ve been limping and been in pain for a week. But yeah, my surgeon told me I’m gonna need surgery this coming Wednesday. My knee injury is pretty severe. So I will not be cleared to compete. And there’s no timetable set right now for when I will be back.”
He continued, “And you know, in the moments that you get injured, a lot of things go through your head. My AEW career, my wrestling career, pops through your mind. And one of the things that popped in my head was defending my Canadian championship this weekend. I would defend my Canadian championship still with one leg if I had to. Because MLP, Canadian wrestling — it means everything to me, man. It’s who I’ve been for 20-plus years. So I don’t know what the future holds for Josh Alexander. But I know that tonight, MLP presents Global Wars with Ring of Honor. AEW stars from around the world, the very besty in Canadian wrestling… So I’ll be doing exactly what all of you are doing. I’ll be tuning in from my couch at home, enjoying some of the best pro wrestling in the world. And I hope you enjoy it, too. I’ll see you when I see you.”
On behalf of 411, our best wishes to Alexander for a quick and full recovery.
