AEW star Josh Alexander discussed his neck injury and the lessons he learned from it with RJ City on Hey! (EW).
Alexander said, “To wait and actually rehab it because I came back after six weeks, I didn’t really listen to doctors too much obviously…but the doctor told me I had to stop wrestling.”
On waking up after his neck surgery:
“Well I woke up from surgery and told me he didn’t have to fuse the second level. He was like ‘yeah it wasn’t as bad’ and I was just like ‘oh wow.’ He’s like ‘you can go back to wrestling, just actually rehab this time.”
