AEW's CJ Perry Has Surgery as Finger Infection Worsens After Being Hospitalized

AEW star CJ Perry said she underwent surgery Monday to address an infection that originated in her finger.

Last Saturday, she shared a photo of her visibly swollen and discolored middle finger and said the infection had moved down her arm:

By Monday, she said she was scheduled for surgery with the situation worsening:

Perry, who had risen to prominence with WWE, debuted in AEW at All Out in September, coming to the aid of her real-life husband Miro after his victory over Powerhouse Hobbs.

The 38-year-old eventually distanced herself from Miro on-screen, though, and took on Andrade El Idolo as a client in November. Their alliance has extended beyond AEW, with Perry originally scheduled to be in his corner for a match in Mexico's CMLL promotion.

In addition to missing that match, Perry was absent as Andrade lost to Claudio Castagnoli the following night on Collision.

It's unclear when Perry will return to AEW programming.
