“Tonight’s #AEWDynamite, NEXT on TBS, will be presented with up to 5 minutes overrun!
This has been one of the most hectic weeks for injuries + unexpected unavailability that I can recall in @AEW, especially since the pandemic era.

“Thank you @flatbackstraining
For being a safe space to do what I love most
For reminding me who da f**k I am
For welcoming me and making me better with every training session.
For being a school that all wrestlers can be proud of.
For going above and beyond for a young vet like this Brooklyn Girl.
For being there for me when I didn’t know where to start again. And reigniting my mind, body, and passion. It’s almost time”
