With epic rivalries resurfacing and must-see moments ahead, viewers are eager to see who will go the distance and claim the title of the ultimate champion. However, Cory’s recent health update has raised concerns about his ability to continue competing at the highest level.
Cory’s Injury and Surgery Update
Taking to Instagram, Cory shared a candid update about his health, revealing that he recently underwent the first of two planned surgeries to repair his ACL.
“Just wanted to give you guys an update.”I underwent knee surgery just a day ago—the first of two procedures needed to fully repair it,” he wrote.
“The meniscus was severely damaged, requiring extensive trimming… In the end, the procedure took a full six hours.” They then had to fill in the places where they took out the screws with bone,” Cory explained.
Fan Reactions and Support
Following his update, fans took to Reddit and social media to express their support and admiration for Cory’s perseverance.
- “Hope his surgery goes well. That has to be tough to go through,” one fan commented.
-
“I can’t believe he competed despite having a completely torn ACL—it’s absolutely mind-blowing!” I have the same injury, and even stepping wrong can cause serious pain,” another shared.

I don’t understand why people judge Cory just because he hasn’t won. He’s made multiple finals while dealing with a serious injury,” a third fan added.
Despite facing this setback, Cory remains a fierce competitor, and fans are hopeful he’ll return stronger than ever.
