-Former IMPACT World Champion Brian Cage didn’t work last night’s Hard To Kill pay per view matchup against Rob Van Dam due to a torn bicep. His rumored signing with AEW had nothing to do with him staying sidelined. Instead, they set up an angle with RVD attacking Cage and the Machine being replaced by Daga. RVD would pick up the victory.
-Ken Shamrock told the press following his bout with Madman Fulton that he heard Fulton’s “shoulder pop” during the kimura spot, which is why he showed genuine concern after. No update on Fulton, but he was able to finish the match.
-X-Division champion Ace Austin potentially damage his eardrum. Meanwhile, Rich Swann’s ankle injury forced him to miss out on his tag team title matchup against the North. Champion Ethan Page was also dealing with salmonella sickness.
