Brian Cage Suffers Setback In AEW Return Plans

Brian Cage has suffered a setback in his recovery from injury, with the All Elite Wrestling talent revealing he will need to undergo another surgery.

"I busted my ass and have done everything imaginable to come back as quick and as healthy as possible. That being said I have some news. News that nobody would want to hear. There is an issue on the operation I had on my right knee. I was fighting an uphill battle that no amount of therapy, modalities, stem cells, peptides, etc we're going to fix. I have to go back under the knife for them to try to fix or correct the situation," Cage wrote on Instagram.

"Being upset and depressed upon hearing this news is beyond an understatement. It's maybe question a lot and bring a bond a bunch of doubt. I hate having this what was me mindset, and hopefully when they get in there it's best case scenario. And even if it's worst case, once we get this fixed and back on track I'll pick up the pieces I'll rebuild and become a better version of 'the machine' once again."

Brian Cage has been out of action since he suffered a torn quadriceps during an independent wrestling match with Chris Masters in March. Due to being on the shelf for several months already, Cage opted to undergo knee replacement surgery in June.

Brian Cage has been a part of All Elite Wrestling since 2020. He was featured as part of the Don Callis Family in a tag team with Lance Archer prior to taking time off due to injury.
