AEW star Andrade El Idolo is set to miss many months due to suffering a torn pectoral muscle.
Andrade had been off AEW television after being suspended following an altercation backstage with Sammy Guevara.
He revealed on Monday however that he had undergone surgery for a torn pec.
In an update today, Andrade confirmed that he suffered his injury during the AEW Trios Championship tournament, when he, Rush and Dragon Lee were defeated by the Elite in the opening match of the tournament.
Andrade shared a clip of the match on Twitter, revealing that he suffered his injury during a six-man suplex spot in the bout.
He wrote:
THIS IS THE MATCH WHERE MY INJURY HAPPENED I LEAVE YOU PART OF THE MATCH.
You can’t imagine in what movement we can get injured, it happened to me in the 6-man Suplex almost starting the match but I wanted to finish as a professional.
