AEW has a roster filled with incredible stars

AEW star Brian Cage recently updated fans about his health after his sudden hospitalization, which has caused him to become briefly sidelined from in-ring competition.

He was originally scheduled to make an appearance at the AAA TripleMania XXXI event last weekend in a four-way match for the Latin American Championship. Cage was set to face AEW stars QT Marshall, Pentagon Jr, and Dralistico until he was replaced last minute by Texano Jr. QT Marshall went on to become the new champion.

Sharing on Twitter, Brian Cage provided an update for the fans while in his hospital bed. He mentioned how he should've been at Triplemania but unfortunate circumstances led to him being sidelined. He reassured everyone that he was okay.

“But, it’s okay. I’m still alive, I’m still kicking. But unfortunately, it doesn’t look like I’ll be making my flight or my scheduled matchup for Triplemanía this Saturday which, I wish I was joking, I wish I was lying, I wish this was part of the plan but unfortunately, it’s not so, yeah, I was booked to be there, I was planning on being there, I was planning on becoming the new champion but, obviously I’m not pulling any strings."
