AEW: Dante Martin Injury Update, Matt Jackson Injury Update, Thunder Rosa Injury Update

Dante Martin Ankle Injury Update

As noted before, Dante Martin suffered a serious broken ankle and lower leg injury at Ring of Honor’s Supercard of Honor 2023 event this past Friday in Inglewood, California.

Martin recently provided an injury update on Twitter stating that he was released from the hospital on Saturday, thanked AEW’s medical staff, and stated that he will be rehabbing for a potential return in the future.


Matt Jackson Biceps Injury Update

As noted before, Matt Jackson suffered a torn biceps injury this past March and is currently expected to be out of action for AEW for the foreseeable future.

Dave Meltzer reported in a recent episode of the Wrestling Observer Radio that his sources stated that Jackson recently started therapy rehab for his torn biceps injury. Meltzer reported that those spoken to stated that Jackson’s injury rehab is currently expected to last for around six to eight weeks, which would mean that he could be back in time for AEW’s Double or Nothing 2023 event this May in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Meltzer reported that AEW officials current have a “very strong hope” that Jackson will be medically cleared in time for the event or shortly after it.


Thunder Rosa Back Injury Update & Comments on Britt Baker’s Statement

As noted before, Thunder Rosa has been out of action for AEW since this past September due to her suffering a spinal-related injury. During her time away, Rosa has been working in AEW’s Spanish commentary team since this past February.

A recent episode of the Busted Open Radio podcast had Rosa as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Rosa providing an update on the status of her back injury.

“Well, thatā€™s a question that everybody asked me during the signing. Unfortunately, I wasnā€™t cleared and I donā€™t think Iā€™m gonna be cleared any time soon. I need another MRI.”

Rosa also gave her thoughts about the comments made by Britt Baker on the debut episode of AEW’s All Access show regarding the bad blood between the two backstage in the company.

“Like I said in my song (that I sang earlier), if they donā€™t speak good about me, itā€™s good because I send them blessings.

Itā€™s something that Iā€™ll say and Iā€™ll continue to say. If I wouldnā€™t have had that (Lights Out) match (with Britt Baker), then a lot of people wouldnā€™t know who Thunder Rosa is, you know? You gotta give respect to who gives respect. That moment in our careers, we both helped each other to do something different and we were able to elevate each other to a point where we are where we are, right? I mean for so long, I was on the indies grinding and trying to make a name for myself and going on Busted Open so people knew who I was. Knocking on doors and people shutting them completely in my face but that night, I was able to do something beautiful with her and I cherish that. Thereā€™s a moment in my career I really cherish and itā€™s that because it changed the perspective on womenā€™s wrestling in so many ways. But, again, thereā€™s a lot of controversy going on. I am not gonna say anything because I donā€™t have to say anything. Like I said, Iā€™ve said it multiple times, Iā€™m just gonna send them blessings and thereā€™s something very important that somebody told me and when somebody says something hurtful, when you have the buttons, when you button your shirt, you just let it go to where the button is. It cannot penetrate your heart and penetrate your mind and Iā€™m just gonna keep going and try to be a better person for me, for you guys, for my family and thatā€™s it. Thatā€™s all that I can do.”
