TNA Wrestling has shared encouraging updates on Chris Bey following his injury at a recent Impact TV taping.

After Bound For Glory, Bey sustained a neck injury during a high-risk move off the top rope, leading to the immediate halt of the match and taping.

Dave Meltzer described the incident on Wrestling Observer Radio, explaining that the mishap seemed to occur during a “Twist of Fate” attempt, causing concern among those present.

Following surgery, TNA reported that Bey is now recovering well in the hospital.

He underwent an MRI and has been resting comfortably, even sharing light-hearted conversations about Bound For Glory.

Bey is expected to stay in Detroit under medical supervision, surrounded by family, TNA management, and fellow wrestlers who are offering their support during his recovery.

A GoFundMe has been set up to help Bey as he recovers. Anyone wishing to donate can do so here.

Everyone at Inside The Ropes would like to wish Chris Bey and El Hijo Del Vikingo well in their recoveries.

El Phantasmo will be stepping away from the ring as he faces a significant health battle.

New Japan Pro Wrestling recently announced the former IWGP Tag Team Champion will take an indefinite leave due to a health issue, resulting in his absence from scheduled appearances, including NJPW’s Super Jr. Tag League Tour and Power Struggle.

Later, on social media, El Phantasmo shared that doctors had discovered a small cancerous tumor.

Despite the diagnosis, he reassured fans that he remains “in good spirits” and feels neither fear nor anxiety.

Expressing gratitude for the support from his family, friends, and fans, he added that he looks forward to supporting others going through similar battles.

Chavo Guerrero has taken aim at “stupid” ex-WWE star Disco Inferno after a recent spat on social media.

Controversial ex-WWE talent Glenn Gilbertti took to social media to insult the US Democrat party to their reaction to several offensive comments made a recent Republican Donald Trump rally.

“Democrats getting offended by comedians is something you never would have seen a few years ago. Everyone knows this. Classic Fake Outrage.”

Taking to Twitter, Chavo Guerrero would mock the “stupid” star for his opinions noting that whilst he was always “stupid” he seems to have gotten “more stupid” in recent years.

“You are just getting more stupid as time goes on. Don’t get me wrong, you were Always stupid, just more now”

Hulk Hogan has continued to endorse Donald Trump in recent months whilst Mick Foley, Jim Cornette & Batista recently urged American’s to vote for Kamala Harris.

Roman Reigns is officially set to compete at WWE Crown Jewel in a major six-man tag match.

Following an intense closing segment on the October 25th SmackDown, the event’s lineup has been confirmed, with Reigns joining The Usos to face Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, and either Tama Tonga or Tonga Loa.

This will be Reigns’s first appearance in the ring since Bad Blood, where he and Cody Rhodes squared off against Sikoa and Fatu in the main event.
