AEW’s Anna Jay says she needs to undergo shoulder surgery.

During the AEW Redemption media call back in July, Tony Khan confirmed that Anna Jay’s absence was due to a shoulder injury. He also revealed that she had extended her contract with the promotion, shutting down any rumors that she was leaving. In a previous update, Jay said she doesn’t know the extent of the injury and is seeking doctors’ advice

She last competed on the June 6, 2026, episode of AEW Collision.

Anna Jay shared another update on her recent Twitch stream. The AEW star revealed she has to undergo shoulder surgery. She didn’t want the procedure at first, but decided to go ahead after getting opinions from different doctors.

“Okay, how’s the injury? I’ll give you guys the update. It’s a little unfortunate. I do have to have shoulder surgery. I’m going to be having that in the next week or two. So unfortunately, I did not want to have surgery. Obviously, no one wants to have surgery. But the reason it’s taken me this long is because I’ve gotten multiple opinions from different doctors and different surgeons just to make sure that I’m making the right choice and the best for my shoulder. So that is what’s going on,” the AEW star said.
