AEW star Trent recently spoke with the Rasslin Podcast about his injury, where the Best Friends member revealed that he is uncertain about when he can make an in-ring return, even adding that it can’t happen until his bones grow back together. Highlights from the interview are below.
Says he’s not sure when he will return:
“I just gotta wait for my bones to grow together. Do you know what I mean? They put the plate they put the plates in and they take the discs out and then in between they put, he said, it’s like a crushed coral. I don’t understand why it’s not just floating around… Then the bone grows into where the crushed coral is. I think it’s like a little disc thing with the coral in it.”
On his battle with sleep apnea:
“I got my neck fused. I had so much extra bone growth and stuff, my discs were crushed and my bones were starting to fuse themselves together,” said Trent. “I was getting sleep apnea. I was waking up gasping for air in the middle of the night and sometimes, I’d have trouble swallowing my own spit and I just thought it was nothing, but post-surgery — I guess I had so many extra bones and shit growing in my [throat] that my sleep apnea was gone.”
