Karl Anderson Ahead of Schedule in Recovery Progress Following Shoulder Surgery

Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows came back to WWE back in 2022, but a series of injuries marred their progress so far. This includes Anderson’s current shoulder injury and now Anderson has provided an update on his current recovery status following surgery.

While speaking on the latest episode of Talk’n Shop, Anderson shared an update on his recovery, stating that rehab is going very well and that he’s ahead of schedule. Confident in his progress, he compared himself to “Superman,” referencing Shawn Michaels’ famous remark about performing at a high level.

“Yeah, rehab is going good. I’m beyond ahead of schedule. Unbelievable, unbelievable. That’s the thing is, I’m Superman. Shawn Michaels said, one time they asked Shawn Michaels in that shoot interview, ‘How do you have great matches all the time?’ He said, ‘I’m f’n Superman.”

The multi-time tag team champion underwent surgery for a torn rotator cuff tendon and a partially torn labrum, with an expected recovery timeline of six to nine months. Therefore, he will be missing out on WrestleMania 41 no matter what, as he has been absent since October 1, 2024.

Despite his injuries, Anderson remains determined to recover and return stronger than ever. Fans can look forward to his comeback once he completes his rehabilitation. In the meantime, his positive attitude definitely gives hope to those eagerly awaiting his return to the ring.
