Video: AEW's Dax Harwood Shares Clip From Hospital: 'Laugh Away'
Over the last few weeks, Dax Harwood and his FTR partner Cash Wheeler have been doing all they can to get back the AEW World Tag Team Championship from Big Bill and Ricky Starks. But while the duo's quest to become the first ever three-time AEW Tag Team Champions in history is important, Harwood has been finding time to take care of an even more important component of his life; his health.
Taking to X, Harwood posted about having a check-up with his gastroenterologist months ago, which caused concerns with his doctors and led to him having an invasive colonoscopy this week. Harwood announced that the colonoscopy revealed he had no polyps or cancerous growths, and explained he was sharing the news in order to inspire fans to get themselves checked out as well, should they have similar issues. To that end, he closed the post on a humorous note, telling fans to "laugh away" before including two short videos of Harwood, worn out and on medication following the operation.
Few months ago, I had a check up w/my gastroenterologist. They were worried about a few things. A little more invasive colonoscopy showed that I was free & clear of any polyps or cancerous growths. The reason for this is, guys,as embarrassing as it may be, get checked. Laugh away pic.twitter.com/KI030nOpDN

Despite the rigorous preparation necessary to undergo a colonoscopy, Harwood worked "AEW Collision" on Saturday, just days before the procedure. He and Wheeler would wrestle Bad Thad Brown and Darian Bengston to a no contest after the duo were attacked by House of Black, and would later reappear after the main event, assisting the Blackpool Combat Club as they brawled with HOB, Bill and Starks, who successfully defended their titles against Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta just minutes prior.
