AEW's Taz Reveals Serious Joint Issues, Declines Surgery in Favor of Regenerative Treatments

AEW announcer Taz recently shared an update on his health status through a post on his Twitter/X account, stating:

"Went to a highly acclaimed orthopedic surgeon yesterday to discuss my knee. It’s been brutal for a couple of years, he did testing & X-rays on me.

I’m posting this for today’s wrestlers, please be smarter, times have changed for the better!!”
