AEW has a lot of injuries on their roster. Some are actually expressing concern about that at this point, as Al Snow said he expects someone to die in an AEW ring if things aren’t fixed. Now, we have another unfortunate injury to report.
Anthony Henry, 1/2 of the WorkHorsemen, is no longer part of the active roster. He is dealing with a broken jaw, and it appears that surgery will be needed.
Henry’s Injury
Anthony Henry shared his uncertainty and worry regarding his broken jaw, admitting it to be an unfamiliar and daunting injury for him. Wrestling is an integral part of his life, and he expressed a sense of loss without it and voiced concerns about how the injury might impact future plans, particularly those involving his tag team partner, JD Drake.
Update: Absolutely gutted. In last night's match against Bryan Keith, I took a knee strike that broke my jaw. The #workhorsemen had some exciting things coming up. One of which was the @AEW tag team tournament, which we can now not be involved in. I will have surgery soon. pic.twitter.com/E3YnKJ5iyC

Henry indicated that there are also plans for surgery to address the injury.
I honestly don't know how I will take this. I've never had an injury like this. I don't know what to do without wrestling, and my biggest fear is that it derails any upcoming plans for Drake and I. I may be absent from here for a while. I appreciate all the fans who support us! https://t.co/UhV811VFFI
