AEW’s Anna Jay says she needs shoulder surgery
Anna Jay, a wrestler with All Elite Wrestling (AEW), says she needs surgery for a shoulder injury.
She shared the update during a Twitch stream and said she expected the operation within a week or two.
Jay had hoped to avoid surgery, but sought opinions from several doctors and surgeons before deciding to proceed.
She said her shoulder could keep dislocating if the problem was not fixed, and she hopes the operation will address it.
AEW confirmed in July that her absence was due to a shoulder injury; her most recent match was on June 6, 2026.
AEW’s Tony Khan has also said Jay extended her contract, after rumors that she might leave.
Jay has not given a recovery timeline, saying she does not want to set public expectations.
