WWE just tweeted out a new update regarding Big Cass’ knee injury on WWE RAW this week, now reporting Cass will need to undergo surgery after suffering an ACL tear and possible meniscus tear.
WWE.com posted a new update in their original article that confirmed the injury last night, and posted the following, reporting typical recovery time for Cass’ is usually nine months:
AUG. 22 UPDATE: An initial MRI of Big Cass’ left knee shows that he will require surgery.
“It looks like he has an ACL tear, possibly a medial meniscus tear, but we’re going to wait for the radiologist to evaluate the MRI and give us their full report,” WWE ringside physician Dr. Chris Robinson said.
The seven-footer will be undergoing surgery this week to repair the damage, which will be the start of a long road back to the squared circle.
“A typical ACL tear takes about nine months [to recover from],” Robinson said.
Cass’ knee was injured during his Brooklyn Street Fight against former partner Enzo Amore. Cass landed awkwardly on his knee after falling to the floor and could be heard cursing as he was helped to the back after the match was stopped early.
