WWE Superstar Apollo Crews has been missing from television since Jan. 24, 2025, when he defeated Johnny Gargano during Friday Night SmackDown.
This is because during the match, Crews tore his pectoral muscle, an injury that required him to get surgery.

“A few weeks ago on SmackDown, I tore my pec—an unfortunate situation,” Crews said on Instagram shortly after the incident. “Sometimes, you do everything right, but there are just some things beyond your control. I’m looking forward to the road ahead, attacking it with a positive and unstoppable mindset. 👊🏿”
“And enjoy my clean shave! It has been a while since I have seen this baby face!”
Now, nearly 15 weeks later, Crews has provided an update on his recovery process.
“Been crushin’ the rehab. Feeling good,” Crews once agains said on Instagram. “I never really had any physical pain, but it took a while to get my mental game right after the injury happened.
“I’m over that hump now. Just waking up taking it day by day and putting in the work.”
Here’s hoping that Crews is able to make a safe return sooner rather than later.
