Baron Black provides an update and explains why he has been absent from the ring in recent months.
In a post on Twitter, Baron Black revealed that he sustained an ankle injury in December 2022, and he worsened it by wrestling in January 2023. He stated that it was an ankle ligament injury, and when he tried to return in June, his ankle was not ready yet. Black then wrote that he battled terrible food poisoning, and he took some time off before he resumed training in July. However, he went to the ER due to dehydration and fatigue.
Black continued by stating that he kept dealing with dehydration, and he had to go to the ER seven times. Eventually, the doctors realized that he had a gut bacteria issue that stemmed from the food poisoning. Black wrote that the issue was correctable, and he was near the end of the healing process. He thanked everyone for their support and said that he looked forward to returning soon.
WrestleZone wishes Baron Black well in his recovery, and we will provide more information as it becomes available.
