AEW wrestler Matt Jackson is dealing with a partially torn bicep as he suffered the injury during the three-way AEW Trios Championship match on a recent episode of Dynamite.
The reported timetable for Jackson’s return from injury is 6-8 weeks. The hope is that he will be back in time for Double or Nothing on May 28.
Jackson issued an official statement regarding the situation, which you can see below:
“Suffered a torn bicep. It’s a partially torn bicep. After consulting with multiple doctors and wrestlers, other people in the industry who have suffered the exact same injury, I’ve decided not to do the surgery. Instead, as I said, we are on our way to LA to start other forms of therapy. These other forms of therapy shall turn what would have been months out on the shelf to only just weeks. That is the hope. I feel pretty good. I don’t know if I’m just a freak but I feel pretty good, and my arm feels pretty good. So the hope is, let’s get in there. Let’s do these other therapies, let’s do the PRP, and let’s get me back in the ring ASAP. That is the hope.”
