Elijah Torn Triceps Injury Update – Elijah Says He’s Not Medically Cleared for In-Ring Return But “Healthy Enough to Smash A Guitar”

As noted before, Elijah has been out of action for TNA Wrestling since this past June due to a torn triceps injury. Elijah made a surprise appearance at TNA’s Bound For Glory 2025 event earlier this month involving him laying out Nic Nemeth with his guitar to prevent Nemeth from cashing in his Call Your Shot trophy on Mike Santana for the TNA World Championship.

WrestleZone held a recent interview with Elijah. One of the topics discussed included Elijah providing an update on his recovery from injury.

“I was on NXT TV a little over three months ago, wrestling against Trick Williams. I jumped off of the top rope, I landed in a bad way and I tore my tricep right off the bone. So I’ve got myself a nice little scar here now and a screw in my arm. Which, it is what it is in wrestling, but yeah, the rehab is coming along well. At [Bound For Glory], I was healthy enough to smash somebody with a guitar, so that was fun. I had to test [my arm out], see if it could handle it,”

Elijah also gave his thoughts about him not being medically cleared yet for an in-ring return but he is healthy enough to do physical stuff again.

“I’m feeling pretty good right now. But ultimately, it’s a surgeon and doctor call for me. I am supposed to see them relatively soon. I’ve told them I want to be good to go by Orlando in, what do we got here, about three weeks? But again, it’s not ultimately my call. If that was the case, if they gave me the go-ahead, I’m by in the mix and I’m good to go. If not by Orlando, I’d love to do it by El Paso. I think I’m at least healthy enough to play a song or smash somebody with a guitar if I have to.”
