AEW Star Malakai Black Reveals He Recently Survived Career-Threatening Injury

AEW

AEW star Malakai Black has revealed on his TikTok account that he recently recovered from a back injury that he believed would be career-ending.

Posting on his personal account, Black said:

“Till about 3 months ago I was dealing with a back injury I was convinced was going to force me into retirement, but after a literal year of treatment that went from working to complete failure on several occasions, we all of a sudden hit the correct vertebrae during a dry needling sessions and everything released. From there we were able to rehab and strengthen. You can check video 2 for this horrendous view and my personal reaction to it. However, allowing me now a few months later to slowly move back into deadlifting and a few more compound moves.”

Black hasn’t wrestled for just under a month, and it’s not clear when he will make his return. However, it’s great to hear that he will be making his return, because a Malakai Black retirement would have an incredibly negative impact on the world of pro-wrestling.

Everyone at WrestleTalk wishes Black a safe and speedy recovery.
