Veteran commentator announces time off to recover from total shoulder replacement
Summary
– Taz confirms time away from AEW Dynamite for shoulder replacement surgery
– The ECW legend previously underwent knee surgery last year
– Plans to return to commentary once recovery is complete
AEW’s broadcast booth will be without one of its most recognizable voices as Taz undergoes total shoulder replacement surgery. The former ECW World Champion and current AEW commentator revealed the news to fans via Instagram Stories.
Taz shared that the procedure will sideline him from AEW Dynamite for a period of recovery, though he didn’t provide a specific date for his return. His message to fans was confident and straightforward, promising to return once fully healed.
“I will be having total shoulder replacement surgery in a short time. Therefore I will be off AEW Dynamite for awhile. See you soon,” Taz wrote.
This marks another chapter in Taz’s ongoing health journey after completing knee replacement surgery last year. Despite the physical toll of decades in professional wrestling, the “Human Suplex Machine” remains determined to continue doing what he loves—calling the action for AEW fans.
While he recovers, fans can expect AEW’s commentary team to adjust temporarily. Still, few voices capture the energy of AEW like Taz, and his eventual return promises to bring back the sharp wit and insight that made him one of wrestling’s most respected analysts.
