It’s been two months since AEW and ROH fans last saw Nick Wayne in a wrestling ring. According to an AEW doctor, that timeline will now be extended even further.
On Saturday’s edition of **AEW Collision**, backstage interviewer Renee Paquette caught up with Wayne as he underwent an examination of his broken foot. Wayne had previously claimed to have sustained the injury during a physical encounter with Christian Cage on **AEW Dynamite** in August.
Wayne initially expected good news from the medical evaluation. “I’m great,” Wayne told Paquette as he sat beside Kip Sabian and Mother Wayne. “As a matter of fact, I couldn’t be better. I’m sitting here right now getting cleared. I should be back in the ring in no time. You should be lucky I’m not in the ring right now. Ain’t that right, doc? Tell them. Tell them how great I’m healing.”
However, the doctor delivered less optimistic news. According to the examination, Wayne’s foot was still swollen and tender over the site of the fracture. This means he will be out of action for at least another six to eight weeks.
Unhappy with the update, Wayne limped away, stating that he would find a “real” doctor for another examination. Fans will have to wait a little longer to see when Nick Wayne will return to the ring.
