Surprise ouch. There are various different kinds of injuries in wrestling. Some are much more gruesome and you can see them as they happen. Others are more of a surprise that build up over time and you know are coming one day but can’t figure out exactly when. Then there are others where you have no idea that anything is wrong until you hear about fixing them. The latter is the case today.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Ali underwent some undisclosed surgery on June 28 in Birmingham, Alabama. At the moment, there are very few details known about the injury, including what kind of injury Ali had or when he will be back in the ring. However, the surgery does not seem to be too severe as Ali was shown in a vignette this week on SmackDown Live and wrestled the dark match before the show.
Ali seems fine for the most part. Check out what happened with him before Tuesday’s SmackDown Live:
Opinion: This doesn’t seem to be the worst thing in the world, but this is two injuries that Ali has had this year alone. He hasn’t been on the main roster all that long and he’s racking up the time on the injured like. That being said, if he is already back in the ring, this might not be something that really means much in the grand scheme of things. Hopefully Ali gets back on TV soon because his vignettes have been great.
