Hey SRS! Hope you're well Any rough timeline on Hologram's injury recovery? He seemed to be doing pretty well in his progress videos, but his surgery seemed pretty extensive.

Still months away at a minimum based on what I'd been told. I don't know if it was a meniscus or an ACL, but three months would be too short for either. Knee injuries end up catfishing a lot of wrestling fans, because they'll see wrestlers rehabbing the injury and think they're coming back imminently. Knee surgery won't have you in a wheelchair for months, and you'll be able to rehab pretty early on.

Any plans for Howdy to have a singles push

I've never heard of anything resembling that. Bo Dallas has had one singles match period in six years, so I don't think WWE has been jumping on the idea of him doing that. Being a supplemental character for the Wyatts, doing tags and working AAA I think is a good method. Maybe he could have a strong run in the Royal Rumble to instill some confidence there, but I've never heard of singles plans.

What ever happened with that lawsuit between Ryan nemeth, cm punk and AEW

Back in April 2025, it was revealed that AEW and Tony Khan wanted the case to be settled in private arbitration, which would have meant it was behind closed doors. There hasn't been any update since then, likely because any settlement likely would have been handled with the condition of an NDA.
