Jake Atlas has provided a medical update.
Atlas wrestled Adam Cole on the January 7 episode of AEW Rampage (taped Wednesday following Dynamite) and was favoring his knee and having trouble putting weight on it. According to those in attendance, Atlas received medical attention following the bout and was helped to the back by AEW officials.
According to a report from PWInsider, Atlas "blew out his knee" but the severity of the injury had not been confirmed.
Now, Atlas himself has provided an update, saying that his knee will be just fine and that he won't be gone for long.
I’m so freaking proud of that match. Thank you @AdamColePro for pushing me to give you ME. My knee will be just fine. Thank you guys for your concern. I won’t be gone long! #AEWRampage
