Tomohiro Ishii Suffers Injury At AEW Event, Set To Miss Action Indefinitely

Japanese pro wrestler Tomohiro Ishii is set to be out of action indefinitely due to an injury he suffered recently.

New Japan Pro Wrestling recently released a statement on its website, revealing that Ishii sustained a dislocated right shoulder while wrestling at an AEW event in San Antonio, Texas, on October 22.

The promotion stated that Ishii’s return will be determined after further diagnosis. It also apologized to fans who were looking forward to seeing the 49-year-old wrestle at future events.

Here’s the full statement from NJPW:

“On October 22, at an AEW event in San Antonio, Texas, Tomohiro Ishii sustained a dislocated right shoulder. As a result, Ishii will miss action on forthcoming events, with his return to be determined. We apologize to fans who were looking forward to seeing Ishii wrestle, and appreciate your understanding.
