An AEW star will be missing a substantial amount of time after being informed that they will be requiring double knee replacement surgery.
Former AEW TNT Champion Dustin Rhodes took to social media this afternoon to reveal that he will be having surgery on August 21. This surgery will require double knee replacements because the damage to his current knees can’t be repaired, tweeting out:
“Knees are both destroyed. I have to go under the knife August 21st. They can’t actually fix the damage so we are getting 2 knee Replacements. Damn! #KeepSteppin
“By the way…….This Is NOT THE END. As hard as this is and how much I hurt right now, very nervous but excited to start from scratch and build back better. 6 million dollar man type shit. Been a hard recovery this week and still suffering from that match but what doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.
“I promise to push myself as hard as possible to make it back. I still got lots to do. But in the mean time, just want to say thank you to you all for checking on me and giving me words of encouragement. Can’t believe me and my brother both had street fights within 4 days of each other. Truly excited for whatever comes next in @AEW !!!
“Love it here. And damn……5***** match at 56! Never let anybody tell u you cant do or accomplish something. Never quit. Grateful *red heart emoji* You will never keep down a #rhodes #KeepSteppin for LIFE!! *sign of the horns emoji,*” Dustin Rhodes said in a series of tweets.
