TNA wrestler Hammerstone undergoes surgery
TNA wrestler Alex Hammerstone is beginning the recovery process following surgery.
After being forced out of action with a knee injury, Hammerstone shared an update on Monday revealing that he’s had successful surgery. Hammerstone later posted that he’s home from the hospital and is already starting to rehab his knee.
The injury forced Hammerstone to be pulled from TNA Final Resolution on December 13, where he was scheduled to team with Jake Something against The Rascalz and Sami Callihan & PCO.
“Hopefully, optimistically, it’s looking like it’s going to be a pretty minor procedure,” Hammerstone said before surgery. “And I should be back to the ring in not much longer than a couple weeks. Let’s hope that stays true. It’s sucks that I’ve missed the time that I have. It sucks that I’m going to miss some more. But I’m going to do everything I can to recover as fast as I can and get back to the ring.”
This is the first time the 33-year-old Hammerstone has needed to have surgery in his wrestling career. Over the weekend, he tweeted that he had terrible anxiety heading into surgery but was determined to get back to action.
Hammerstone, who is a former World Champion for MLW, signed with TNA Wrestling this February.
