AEW star Blade has revealed that he recently underwent a back fusion surgery
The 44-year-old has been out of action most of this year with not a lot of updates on where he has been or what\’s the reason behind his absence.
The wrestling veteran then took on his Instagram earlier on Wednesday. He shared some photos of himself in the hospital revealing that he underwent a successful surgery recently:
Blade, real name Jesse Guilmette made his in-ring debut way back in 2000. He had some early matches for WWE under his real name but was never signed to a long-term deal by the company.
Despite the struggles, he continued competing in the independent circuit and had stints with companies such as CZW, ROH and TNA.
The wrestling star alongside his tag team partner The Butcher and wife Allie made his debut for All Elite Wrestling during the November 27, 2019 episode of Dynamite.
The duo have been a regular on AEW programming ever since, having wrestled over a hundred matches for the promotion since their first appearance.
The Blade has not been seen in the ring since February when he worked at an indie event in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. His partner Butcher has continued making occasional appearances on AEW programming in his absence.
