AEW star Brian Cage reveals undergoing surgery

Brian Cage's AEW run was just starting to take off after he joined The Don Callis Family. Following this, he was featured prominently on TV. However, his run was faced with a major setback after he tore his quads recently.

He took to Instagram to reveal that he underwent knee replacement surgery as well and was already back in the gym four days later. He said that he had been facing knee pain for years and decided to tend to his knee as well, once he tore his quads.

"4 days post knee replacement (8 weeks post quad tendon repair) and I'm already back in the gym @projectwellbeingllc. I've been dealing with excessive knee pain for years and have been working through it with the intention of going under the knife after All In. With the unfortunate set back of tearing my quad, I figured F it, let's just get em both done. Not an easy or fun choice, but I'm gonna come back ripping heads off. Especially if this is me right now after surgery," he wrote.

It will be interesting to see when Brian Cage makes his return to the ring.
