Injuries are an unfortunate part of professional wrestling, especially when you are the top champion of a major promotion. AEW World Champion MJF has shared the latest update on his recent knee injury. The champion is doing everything he can to stay on television and avoid missing any ring time.

Recently on Instagram, MJF uploaded his recovery video and shared the latest update on his injury. Hours ahead of his Dynamite appearance, MJF uploaded a video of himself taking a cold plunge to help reduce the swelling.

MJF Knee Injury Update After RUSH Match on AEW Dynamite

The champion did not hold back when discussing the physical toll of his recent title defense.

“Very recently, I have hurt my left knee,” MJF shared. “I hyperextended it in a match against RUSH, who is a bad person. I think we all agree on that. And honestly, this match happened on Wednesday. It is now, I believe, Tuesday? And my inflammation in my knee has drastically gone down.

“Obviously, there’s still a st ton of inflammation and pain, but being honest with myself, without this cold plunge, I do believe it would have took me a lot longer to start feeling like myself. And honestly, I think Nordic Wave is going to be a big part of ensuring that I don’t have to take any time off, which is imperative for both my career and, frankly, the company of All Elite Wrestling, ratings, ticket sales, pay-per-view buys, you name it. You’re welcome,” he further added.

MJF suffered the injury during last week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, when he defended his AEW World title against RUSH. While he emerged victorious from the match, reports soon emerged about his hyperextended knee injury. Because of this issue, he could not wrestle at an independent show. Shortly after, he was pulled from his scheduled Beyond Wrestling appearance against Bobby Orlando and was replaced by Andrade El Idolo. Fans are relieved that he plans to keep appearing on television, unlike other stars who must vacate titles or jump to WWE RAW when injured.
