Anna Jay Confirms Shoulder Injury, Awaiting Test Results

Anna Jay is dealing with a shoulder injury, and even she isn’t yet sure how serious it is. The AEW star addressed the issue during a Twitch stream, confirming comments made by Tony Khan on the promotion’s pre-AEW Redemption media call, where the AEW President revealed she would be out of action.

“Yes, the injury thing is true,” Jay told her viewers, adding that she doesn’t know the full extent of the damage and is in the process of visiting multiple doctors to get a complete evaluation before any real timeline can be established.

The lack of clarity is notable in itself — it suggests this isn’t a situation where AEW’s medical staff have already delivered a firm diagnosis, but rather one that’s still unfolding in real time. Shoulder injuries in wrestling can range from a short-term strain that sidelines a performer for a few weeks to a torn labrum or rotator cuff issue requiring surgery and months of rehab, so until Jay has been through her full battery of appointments, it’s impossible to know which end of that spectrum she’s facing.

Jay has been a steady presence in AEW’s women’s division for years, both as a singles competitor and as part of the Jericho Appreciation Society during that group’s run, and more recently continuing to build her in-ring resume on weekly programming. Any extended absence would be a blow to a division that’s been working to establish more depth and consistent storylines beyond the championship picture.

For now, the situation remains in limbo. Khan’s acknowledgment of the injury ahead of AEW Redemption confirms the company is aware and adjusting creative plans accordingly, but there’s been no word yet on whether surgery will be needed or how long Jay might be sidelined. Wrestlers are often cautious about speculating publicly on injuries before doctors weigh in, and Jay’s own comments reflect that same wait-and-see approach.

AEW fans will now be watching for updates as Jay completes her medical evaluations. In the meantime, expect the promotion to shuffle its women’s division plans around her absence until more information becomes available. PW Exclusive will continue to monitor the situation as it develops.
