AEW star shares heartbreaking update; confirms he won't return before 2025

The AEW locker room has taken another hit. A rising heavyweight who signed with the company after leaving WWE recently suffered an injury in the ring and will be on the shelf for a while. The 33-year-old has just checked in with an update from the hospital.

Nick Comoroto began training under QT Marshall in 2013, then signed a WWE NXT contract in February 2019. The former Nick Ogarelli was released in April 2020 due to COVID-19 budget cuts, and five months later, he became All Elite and was a member of The Nightmare Family. Comoroto began working for Tony Khan's ROH in April 2023 while also making some AEW and indie appearances.

The Wrecking Ball took to X today to reveal that he just underwent a hip resurfacing operation. Comoroto noted that he's dealt with leg issues for almost two years but is looking forward to returning in early 2025. He included a post-surgery photo.

"Hey guys, I recently just got my hip resurfaced. I was wrestling on one leg for nearly two years. It’s gonna feel amazing to be able walk my dogs again. I’ll see you all in early 2025. #AEW #AEWDynamite #ROH," Nick Comoroto wrote with the photo below.

Comoroto has mostly appeared on ROH TV since the previous summer. His last bout was a dark match loss to Lee Johnson at the August 11 tapings, which came two weeks after he and Jacoby Watts lost to Angelo Parker and Matt Menard. Comoroto's last All Elite appearance was a loss to Daniel Garcia on the June 12 Dynamite.
