Via social media Kota Ibushi said he still has one year and nine months of rehab left until he can return from his injury to performing in the ring.
Kyle Fletcher talks about the bad bump he took wrestling Jon Moxley at Worlds End: “Obviously, it didn’t go to plan, I understand all the points that everyone is making – it was very dangerous. In the moment, it’s hard for me because I’m not watching it happen; I’m the one actually experiencing it. I didn’t see how nasty the landing was. I was just going off how I felt, and to me, it was just one of those ones where I didn’t feel anything out of the ordinary. It was a bit higher on the neck than I was intending, but it didn’t hurt, and I felt fine. The referee came over, and usually they will check on you once, and you’re like ‘yeah, no worries, it’s all good,’ but then he came over a second time and asked again, which makes me think that there was maybe someone in his ear saying ‘make sure he’s OK.’ I didn’t get to see the replay that everyone else saw, and it wasn’t until later that I looked back and thought that was a little bit silly, wasn’t it? But you live, and you learn.”
The Butcher (Andy Williams) says he’s ready to return to the ring with his tag team partner The Blade, so everyone should be on alert. They haven’t competed together since 2024 when Blade suffered a serious spinal injury.
