Marko Stunt Suffered Vertebrae Injury

Former AEW talent Marko Stunt recently announced on Twitter that the reason why he has been absent from wrestling since this past January was due to him suffering a back-related injury.

“Wanted to give everyone an update. I haven’t been super active on here and there’s some reasons.

I’ve been dealing with a lot of pain recently in my lower back, and ended up doing something to agitate it more. After going to the doctor and getting X-rays they noticed that I have fracture in my vertebrae, as well as rotated vertebrae.

They also noticed a disk being squeezed out of the side like toothpaste (how they described it).

As of right now I’m still going to doctors appointments and figuring things out. I’m not sure what’s going to happen next, but I’d like to thank everyone that’s supported me over my career.

I’ve suffered quite a few injuries that have taken their toll on me, but I’m hoping to recover and come back better than ever! I’m keeping my head up!”
