Anna Jay Shoulder Injury Status Update

As noted before, Ann Jay has been out of action for AEW since this past February due to a shoulder injury.

A recent episode of the Excuse Me: The Vickie Guerrero Show podcast had Jay as the guest and one of the topics discussed included Jay providing a rehab update on her shoulder.

“Well it happened in training. I ended up tearing my labrum again. It’s the second time I’ve done this. Hopefully this time is the charm. Now I’m just rehabbing. Hopefully I’ll be back sooner than I want to or sooner than expected which is what I want and that’s pretty much what I’m doing right now. My routine that I just told you, that’s pretty boring plus rehab, that’s it.”
