AEW broadcaster/wrestler Paul Wight is feeling good after undergoing knee replacement surgery earlier this year and is already back in the gym.
In February of this year, it was reported that Wight would be going under the knife to ease pain in his knees that has accumulated for years.
On a recent edition of the “Run Home with Joel and Fletch” podcast, Wight was asked how his knees are feeling post-surgery. He said,
“Knees are good. They’re both fake so there are no problems with them. They’re both brand new. There is no bone-on-bone arthritis. I have a full replacement on my left knee and a partial replacement on my right knee. They are straight, I’m not knot-kneed anymore. We’re doing pretty good.
“A couple months back, I was working out, and I sheered the titanium button off the kneecap. There is nothing you can do about that. They just had to go in and take the button out because it protects the kneecap. With me sheering off the titanium pin, they just looked at me and went, ‘Eh, there is nothing we can do, it might get sore.’ Some days, if I work out a little too hard, it gets a little sore. So far, it’s coming along good.
“We’re deadlifting, squatting, leg pressing. Everything is coming along good. I’m very pleased with it so far, considering all the surgeries I’ve had, we’re turning the corner, and I’m really happy about it.”
Wight joined AEW in 2021 after over two decades with WWE. He has primarily worked as a commentator, interviewer, and analyst for the promotion.
Paul Wight has competed six times for AEW and is undefeated in the promotion. He also competed on Chris Jericho’s Cruise in January of this year.
