WWE legend and former WCW Champion Lex Luger is now able to stand out of his wheelchair without assistance thanks to the work he has been doing with Diamond Dallas Page.
Luger suffered a spinal cord injury in 2007 and has been confined to a wheelchair since. After initially working with DDP in an effort to regain his mobility a decade ago, Luger reconnected with Page after they were both in attendance for Sting’s last match at AEW Revolution 2024.
During a December 2024 interview with Chris Van Vliet, DDP spoke about the work he had been doing with Luger and if he thought that the former WCW Champion could ever walk again:
“I don’t know. I mean, I really don’t. There’s so much nerve damage in there. I really don’t know, but I do know that if it’s possible, Lex is gonna do it. There’s so many things I do in the chair workouts, even the bed. No one could tell me you can’t do DDP Yoga. It starts in bed. You can’t get out of bed? I got nine workouts for you in bed. Then sitting in a chair. That’s where I focus most of my things, chair and then getting him to stand up and then go back down and stand up and go back down.
Standing is one thing. He can stand, but it’s for moments, that’s a huge deal. We’re going to put that video out soon to let people see that he can stand. It’s shaky, but it’s pretty amazing. And again, what I do is every time he works out, it’s a completely different workout. I’m adding, subtracting, changing, growing, and I’ve never done this before with anyone.”
In February 2025, Page provided the update that shows Luger being able to stand.
