Here’s a health update from Ridge Holland: “Next Tuesday, I’ve got to go to Birmingham, Alabama to have the cast cut off. Some more X-rays to make sure that the foot is all good and we can go possibly to partial weight bearing. But the kicker is that prior to the foot, I had a neck injury that was going to get imaging for. And I got imaging for that post-foot surgery, and I’m going to Birmingham to see the neck specialist. So I mean, worst-case scenario, I’ll need neck surgery. And I’m hoping for the best case scenario, which is injections. But I’m having some nerve impingement which is sending pain down my arm. So I’m a little bit apprehensive about what’s going to happen because it’s another kick in the balls, really. It never rains, it pours. So I’ll keep you posted.”

Indi Hartwell finds it weird that she’s a “veteran” now: “I’ve learnt that people really respect me. It’s crazy. Especially going to work the indies and I’m the veteran of the match and they’re listening to me and they want to do what I want to do only. That’s a weird thing I’m trying to get used to, but it’s nice.”

AJ Styles talks about his match with John Cena in Perth: “I’m not sure there is anyone in the ring I trust more than John Cena. He’s incredible at understanding what the fans need when they need it. He’s even more incredible with the way he treats people. During our match at Crown Jewel, which is the last time we’ll ever wrestle each other, I was in the moment. I embraced and enjoyed it – I mean, it’s hard not to love what you do when you’re having so much fun doing it. People might be surprised to hear this, but for John and myself, it was another match until it was over. Afterward, we were able to reflect on its significance. In the moment, we were doing what we do to entertain people.”
