Anoa’i had a labrum, rotator cuff and bicep tendon repaired and noted that he’s aiming to return to the ring by the summer of 2022.
Injury Report- I have been on the low lately dealing with a shoulder injury. After physical therapy and cortisone shot nothing was working. So as of this past Friday I had surgery on my right shoulder. Surgeon had to repair a torn Labrum, torn rotator cuff and torn bicep tendon. A little more then we thought. But also blessed they were able to go in there and repair everything. Just a long road to recovery! Can’t wait to be back and stronger then ever! #TheReturn #Summer2022
Anoa’i was a part of MLW’s 40-person Battle Riot over the summer.
