Brian Cage back in the gym after undergoing surgery

Brian Cage is already back in the gym as he progresses in his recovery from surgery.

Last month, Dave Meltzer reported that Cage suffered a knee injury during an indie match against Chris Masters. The injury resulted in AEW having to change up its plans for Dynasty 2025. Cage & Lance Archer were planned to challenge Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin for the AEW Tag Team titles at the pay-per-view. Lashley & Benjamin instead ended up facing Big Bill & Bryan Keith.

Cage revealed on his Instagram Stories that he’s undergone surgery for the injury, and yesterday was his first day back in the gym. He called it an “awesome step forward” and is happy to be more mobile than he expected with so many friends coming into Las Vegas for WrestleMania week and all of the surrounding events.

“Got cleared to go to the gym, do some physical therapy, do a little bit of this, do a little bit of that. Awesome, awesome step forward,” he said. “Definitely [the] uplift that I needed today. Have a lot of friends coming in pretty soon here this week and weekend. I should be a little bit more mobile than I thought I would be. So, could be fun. Could be a good time.”

There hasn’t been an update on the exact nature of Cage’s injury or how long he’ll be out of action. On AEW Dynamite, Don Callis mentioned that the Don Callis Family is dealing with injuries at the moment and accepting new members. Both Cage and Mark Davis are injured right now.
