On The Mend: Update On MJF’s Injury And Recovery Status

He’s working on it. There are all kinds of ways a wrestler can get injured and some of them are rather serious. You never know when you are going to see someone put on the shelf as a wrestler can get hurt at any time. This can leave wrestlers on the shelf for a good while and change all kinds of plans for the promotion. That is the case again with a top AEW star and now we know something else about it.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: That’s A Lot: WWE Superstar On Surprising Losing Streak

Back in December, Maxwell Jacob Friedman lost the AEW World Title to Samoa Joe while wrestling with an injured shoulder and hip. Friedman has not wrestled or appeared on AEW television since. According to Sean Ross Sapp during a Fightful Select Q&A, Friedman is still healing up but some aspects of his injury are taking longer to heal than others. In addition to his injury, Friedman was already expected to take time off from AEW. There is no word on when he will be returning to the ring.

Friedman is a star when he is around. Check out what he has done in AEW:

Opinion: That isn’t the biggest surprise as it could be a long time before Friedman is back. He was banged up pretty badly when he left and hopefully he is able to get back sooner than later. At the same time, the delay is going to build up to an even better return, as the fans are going to go nuts when he is FINALLY back, though it could be quite a long time before he does so.

What do you think of Friedman in AEW? Who should he face when he returns? Let us know in the comments below.
