Juice Robinson Details His Last Two Injuries, Including Undergoing Spine Surgery

Juice Robinson made his return to the ring at AEW All In, his first match since November 2024 when he was injured during the Continental Classic.

Robinson was sidelined from the end of 2023 to June 2024 with an injury before returning until he November 2024 setback.

Speaking to Renee Paquette on Close Up, Juice detailed his last two injuries.

“What made it more significant for me was the year before, I had another injury. I haven’t really went into detail about either of them, but I had spine surgery. I ruptured a disc in my lower back, and it was pressing on a nerve and I was having issues with my leg. I was having trouble using it. It was the beginning of what could have gotten much worse. It’s not only scary….we get hurt a lot, but spine, that’s like brain, heart….I’ve broken my hands, I’ve had [Jon Moxley] bite my forehead. That’s okay. A lot of different things, but spine. You need that. Every little thing is controlled by that stack of dimes. I thought it would be a lot harder than it was. I was up moving pretty quick.

“It took a while to get back in the ring, and then when I was, I was just ready to go, and I snapped my leg. That was a lot harder than the back. I didn’t realize it, but it’s hard to sit down for four to five months. Now you’re in a walking boot and it’s a long process. A lot of internal thinking. A lot of introspection. ‘What am I doing? How long have I been doing this? Where am I at in my career? What’s left?’ I’ve been doing this 17 years, which is crazy to think about for me because it’s not just what I want to do, this is what I do. I want to do it as long as I can. When you do the math, 17 years, I’m about halfway through. What do I want to be known for? What am I known for now? I don’t even know. A lot of mental gymnastics and trying to make sense of things and be at peace with where I am, where I want to go. It’s hard. It’s a fresh slate. Part two of a two part series.”

Juice has not competed since his return at AEW All In.

Along with Juice, The Gunns (Colten Gunn & Austin Gunn) made their return at AEW All In, picking up their friendship with their Bang Bang Gang brother.
