Jake Atlas has posted an injury update.
Atlas went down with an apparent leg injury during his AEW TV debut against Adam Cole, which aired on the January 7 episode of Rampage. It had been unclear how extensive the injury was, but in a tweet on February 16, Atlas announced that he suffered a torn ACL. Despite this setback, he made it clear that he’s ready to do the work and come back better than ever.
The message is as follows:
My injury from my match with Adam Cole is, unfortunately, a torn ACL. I’m in good spirits though. AEW has been extremely supportive throughout & surgery yesterday was a success. I’m disappointed that this occurs so soon after my return to wrestling & joining AEW, BUT I’m not going anywhere. I’m not quitting. I worked diligently with prehab before surgery & I look forward to getting straight to work on rehab now post-surgery so that I can get back in the ring as soon as possible & do what I do best.
