WWE Legend Steve Austin Healing After Total Knee Replacement

WWE Hall of Famer Steve Austin has shared an update on his recovery journey after undergoing total knee replacement surgery on his left knee. The 60-year-old wrestling legend posted on Instagram that he is seven weeks into his recovery and healing well after years of delaying the procedure.

“My left knee was on its last leg, and I’ve been putting this surgery off for years,” Austin wrote. “Post-op X-rays show everything is healing nicely.”

However, Austin admitted to overexerting himself early on, which caused setbacks.

“I started walking way too soon and too far, and really pissed off my new knee. Total Knee Replacement is a year-long healing process, so I don’t know what the hell I was thinking,” he explained, adding that swelling remains an issue but progress is steady.

Austin also shared his excitement about returning to the Mint 400, a challenging off-road racing event held near Las Vegas, in seven weeks.

“I will get back in my @kawasakiusa KRX1000 for the first time this weekend to knock the rust off and get back to driving,” he said, expressing his gratitude for the demanding nature of desert racing and his love of competition.

Austin’s knee issues date back to his college football days, long before his wrestling career. During an October appearance on Bobbycast, he acknowledged that knee replacement surgery was long overdue.

Despite his injuries, Austin remains optimistic and determined to stay active, showing his resilience both in and out of the ring.
