A rising talent in AEW has been sidelined due to injury but has now provided an update on his condition.
Anthony Henry burst onto the AEW scene in 2021 with an impressive debut on Dark against Eddie Kingston. His performance caught the eye of Tony Khan, leading to a contract offer. However, a bicep injury suffered during a match against Gabe Kidd on the October 3, 2024 episode of ROH derailed his momentum. Since then, he has been absent from TV screens.
In a recent interview on AEW Unrestricted, Anthony Henry opened up about the challenges of being out of action in 2024 due to his injury.
“2024 was not kind to me, obviously. It’s weird because in the 22 years that I’ve done this, I’ve never really had a substantial injury,” he said.

Reflecting on the moment he tore his bicep during the match with Gabe Kidd, Henry described feeling a clean pop, indicating the severity of the injury.
“It was a clean pop, like it was off the bone. But I didn’t feel it, that’s the weird thing. Neither one of my injuries, they didn’t hurt,” Henry added. [H/T Ringside News]

AEW Star Anthony Henry is Close to Making a Comeback
Despite the setback of his injury, Anthony Henry was on the rise in ROH and on Collision with notable matches against stars like Wheeler Yuta, Kyle O’Reilly, Daniel Garcia, and Ethan Page. While his return date remains uncertain, Henry revealed in the same interview that he has returned to the ring for some chain wrestling drills and feels confident about his physical readiness.
“I got in the ring for the first time yesterday, just kind of playing around. Nothing crazy, we were just kind of like doing some, you know, rolling around and chain wrestling. It was fine, so realistically if I wanted to be in the ring right now and I was actually cleared, I’d be fine, I think.”
The timeline for Anthony Henry’s return to in-ring action remains to be seen as he continues his recovery process.
