Rey Mysterio, Jade Cargill, Matt Cardona, and others react to former WWE star’s heartbreaking update
Several current and former WWE personalities, including Rey Mysterio, Jade Cargill, and Matt Cardona, recently took to social media to react to a popular star’s heartbreaking update. The individual in question is current AEW star Brian Cage.
Brian Cage, who was previously known as Kris Logan and The Night Claw during his time in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), competed in the Stamford-based promotion between 2008 and 2009. He joined All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in 2020 and has since captured the FTW Championship.
Unfortunately, Brian Cage suffered a significant injury in April 2025, which has kept him out of in-ring competition. Recently, Brian took to Instagram to provide an emotional update regarding his injury situation. He shared that while he has been doing everything possible to return to the ring quickly and in good health, he now faces the challenge of undergoing knee surgery once again due to complications from his previous operation.
In his Instagram post, Brian explained:
“I busted my a** and have done everything imaginable to come back as quick and as healthy as possible. That being said, I have some news. News that nobody would want to hear. There is an issue on the operation I had on my right knee. I was fighting an uphill battle that no amount of therapy, modalities, stem cells, peptides, etc., were going to fix. I have to go back under the knife for them to try to fix or correct the situation.”

Cage took issue with how he was portrayed in the painting, feeling that he was downsized and made to look less prominent compared to the other figures. “The fact they downsized me and then made everyone else look better is crazy,” he wrote.
