Atlas revealed on Twitter that he suffered a torn ACL that required surgery. The surgery was a success and he plans on starting rehab now.

Atlas tweeted a statement updating on the matter saying:

“My injury from my match with Adam Cole is, unfortunately, a torn ACL. I’m in good spirits though. AEW has been extremely supportive throughout & surgery yesterday was a success. I’m disappointed that this occurred so soon after my return to wrestling & joining AEW, BUT I’m not going anywhere. I’m not quitting. I worked diligently with prehab before surgery & I look forward to getting straight to work on rehab now post-surgery so that I can get back in the ring as soon as possible & do what I do best.”
