Pro wrestler Skye Blue has been recuperating from a broken ankle since July 2024.
Blue offered some insight into her healing status during a recent autograph signing at the K&S Wrestlefest, saying her return is uncertain but she is getting better every day.
In her own words, “I’m doing my best. Mending an ankle is tough, particularly when it is utterly unattached from your foot (laughs). But hopefully, I’ll be back soon. It’s progressing and improving daily. I wish I knew when, pal. But I’m doing my best. I can walk. That’s a bonus. I recall those times when I couldn’t do that and had to shuffle up my stairs on my butt. That was painful, though somewhat amusing.”
Kevin Knight, a free agent, joined AEW following a WWE tryout in March.
In a recent episode of the “Unlikely” podcast, Knight claimed that he didn’t take offense to WWE’s tryout offer, interpreting it as a challenge instead.
Knight went on to state that he’s currently contracted with NJPW.
Some notable segments from the podcast are provided below:
Regarding his WWE tryout and whether he found it offensive: “I wouldn’t term it as offensive. I’m aware of how the industry operates. WWE is a powerhouse and occasionally it happens that they are unaware of the talent available. It wasn’t a diss in my eyes, rather, a challenge to demonstrate my capabilities. If they were unfamiliar with me, upon entering their premises, I made sure they were not. I decided to leave a mark. That was an enriching experience. I’m grateful I got that opportunity. I met a lot of individuals in that corporation and it felt good working closely with the people we see on TV & PLEs. I learned valuable lessons. I didn’t take any offence. I understand the industry. If anything, it was a chance to network and explore all my options. I think I grew, understanding how they function, their preferences, and experiencing the workplace culture. Transitioning from an LA Dojo, with just four students in a class and an English-limited instructor, to WWE, was intriguing. TNA and AEW lack formal training facilities, hence, experiencing WWE’s mode of operation was a fascinating revelation. It was overall a positive experience for me.”
On his status with NJPW: “New Japan has nothing to be concerned about. I’m here to stay. As I was signing with AEW, I also signed a contract with New Japan. So, New Japan and AEW will both have me for the next year or so. I’m involved with both. The best of both worlds, I would say. I’m going global, interplanetary, multi-promotional.”
