Professional wrestler Anthony Henry has disclosed that his absence from the ring will be extended due to an additional surgery on his arm. The wrestler, known in the AEW/ROH community, made the announcement on Monday via Twitter, stating that a second operation is required to address problems with his torn bicep. He reassured fans that his recovery will be prompt.
In his tweet, he said, “Regrettably, I’m due for a second surgery. Since the first one, I haven’t been able to rotate my arm. New bone growth in the area is constraining the joint’s normal movement. My surgery date is 3/13. Thankfully, the recovery period will be short, so I’ll be back before you know it.”
Henry has been off the wrestling circuit since October.
