Select Portions: AEW/WWE Injuries, Collision Debut, NJPW (Patreon)

- Much of the NJPW roster traveled in Friday to get there in time for NJPW Resurgence

- Skye Blue was also pulled from the AEW tapings, but we’re told she’s not injured or ill, and will return to action soon.

- Fightful has an interview with Flash Morgan Webster scheduled for next week. 

- We have confirmed that there has been discussion about a backup location for AEW Collision in the event it's not at the originally planned United Center in Chicago. However, we've not been able to get a confirmation or learn of any discussion of Daily's Place.

- For those asking about Dakota Kai, she did actually sustain an injury in the same tag team title match that Liv Morgan got hurt in. Ahead of the announcement, we had heard the injury appeared worse than Morgan's, as outlined in Bayley's line on Smackdown.

Alex Coughlin on In The Weeds before NJPW Resurgence

- He’s going to chop Christopher Daniels a lot at NJPW Resurgence.

- There are dragons in the basement of the NJPW LA Dojo. That story is definitely true.

- A lot of discipline goes into working at the NJPW Dojo. “There is a reason why we’re lions and not something that can’t handle the heat.”

- Learned a lot during the NJPW STRONG tapings during the pandemic and working with different people.

- Is happy with the NJPW STRONG direction and the shows being bigger and big names coming in.

- Got the call a week before Bloodsport 2023 to face Jon Moxley since Mox’s original opponent (Davey Richards) dropped out. Had a great time punching Moxley in the face and wants to do it again.

- Didn’t think much about one day facing Shibata while training with him when he started, was focused on not dying during training. Is looking forward to smacking him in the face.

- Shibata would always tell him, “Don’t think, just do. Keep it simple.”

- Is close with Shibata because of the training and living together. Is not lost on him that he’s teaming with Shibata and was picked as one of his opponents.

- Came up with different deadlift suplexes during the pandemic.

- Praises Jonathan Gresham, says he’s the pinnacle of technical wrestling. Wanted to do everything Gresham said. Hopes to wrestle him again. Reflects on NJPW STRONG match with Gresham and how much he loved it.

- Thought he gelled well with his team at Multiverse (PCO, Callihan, Fred Rosser) and it went smoother than he thought given the different styles of everyone.

- “PCO jumps off stuff all the time. He’s not good at flipping, he’s terrible, but he does it all the time.”

- Says Josh Barnett and PJ Black hit hard, along with the LA Dojo guys, but that’s largely in training.

- Is paying attention to Yota Tsuji and his return to NJPW. He beat Yota in the Young Lion Cup and feels its inevitable they clash again.
