Paul Wight Reveals He Was In A Wheelchair For Weeks After Knee Replacement Surgery

In a new interview with Metro UK, Paul Wight gave further insight into his recent injury.

The AEW announcer has been recovering from a knee replacement procedure since August 2022 that has kept him from in-ring action. The surgery kept him wheelchair-bound for eleven weeks. He said,

“Well, I spent 11 weeks in a wheelchair because I was waiting for them to build the implant for my knee because of my size. I had crushed all the bone in the knee, I was bleeding into my shin. So, I’ve got a good pain tolerance, but when I say I rode the tire down to the rim, that’s exactly what I did. But, luckily I still have all my ligaments in that knee, everything’s good there, it’s a nice, brand new titanium joint so it’s good for 35 years. So, I can parachute if I want to – not that I’ll ever jump out of an airplane, we all saw the movie Operation Dumbo drop, I don’t think that’s me, we’re good!”
