Originally published at Matt Cardona provides update after torn pec surgery: 'The road to recovery starts now'
Matt Cardona underwent successful surgery for his torn pec this week, beginning his recovery process.
“The Indy God” confirmed earlier this week that he had to be withdrawn from numerous bookings after suffering a torn pec. He said that he would be able to make appearances and attend autograph signings, but was unable to wrestle for the time being.
“There is no good time to get injured,” he said on social media platform X. “But this certainly isn’t a good time. I have to keep going forward… There’s no other option.”
I tore my pec in a match on Saturday. I’ll be getting surgery.
There is no good time to get injured…but this certainly isn’t a good time. I have to keep moving forward…there’s no other option.
I can’t wrestle but I’m still available for autograph signings and appearances.… https://t.co/5AmyG3vtP1
