“2024 was not kind to me”

An up-and-coming AEW star has been out of action for a while. Now he has given an update on himself.

Anthony Henry first debuted in AEW on an episode of Dark in 2021 when he faced Eddie Kingston. His performance was good enough to impress Tony Khan and win him a contract offer. Since then, he has appeared regularly on AEW TV and ROH. Just as he was starting to make a name for himself, he suffered a biceps injury during his match against Gabe Kidd on the October 3, 2024 episode of ROH at HonorClub. He has not been seen on television since.

During a recent interview with Unrestricted AEWAnthony Henry reflected on his time outside the ring. The ROH star noted how 2024 has been a tough year for him due to his injury.

“2024 wasn't kind to me, obviously. It's strange because in the 22 years I've been doing this, I've never had a substantial injury,” he said.

Henry also gave a detailed explanation of how he felt when he tore his bicep off the bone during his match against Gabe Kidd.

“It was a clean pop, like it was from the bone. But I didn't feel it, that's the strangest thing. None of my injuries, they didn't hurt me.” Henry added. (H/T Ringside News)

AEW star Anthony Henry is back in the ring again

Anthony Henry's injury couldn't have come at a worse time for the AEW star, just as he was starting to make a name for himself in ROH and Collision. Last year, he stepped into the ring against some top stars such as Wheeler Yuta, Kyle O'Reilly, Daniel Garcia and Ethan Page. He hasn't been out of action for quite some time, but fans will be happy to know that his return might not be far off.

During the same interview, Anthony Henry revealed this he had just returned to the ring and was doing some chain wrestling. He also thinks it would be nice if he went back to the squared circle.

“I got in the ring for the first time yesterday, just playing.” he said “Nothing crazy, we were like doing a little bit of, you know, rolling and chain wrestling. It was fine, so realistically, if I wanted to be in the ring right now and I was actually knocked out, I think I'd be fine.”

It will be interesting to see when Anthony Henry will be cleared to return to the ring.
