WWE: Ludwig Kaiser on Not Expecting to Miss WWE Bash in Berlin, MVP’s Contract Expires This Weekend, Josh Briggs & Tavion Heights Arrive in Japan for NOAH

Ludwig Kaiser Comments on Him Expecting to Return in Time from Injury for WWE’s Bash in Berlin Event

As noted before, Ludwig Kaiser has been out of action for WWE since this past June due to a broken ribs injury.

SPOX held a recent interview with Kaiser. One of the topics discussed included Kaiser providing an update on his injury recovery and him currently expecting to return in time for WWE’s Bash in Berlin event later this month in Berlin, Germany.

“I’m on the right track. “Bash in Berlin” is not in danger, I can reassure all German fans on that. You have to watch “SummerSlam” – there’s too much going on at the moment. There’s something new every week. The WWE is boiling and booming. Most recently we were in Japan, Mexico, for TV in America and then we’re going back to Europe soon. If I stub and sprain my toe, I’ll miss something next week too.”

Kaiser also gave his thoughts about the potential of him only getting to manage Gunther instead of competing at the event.

“I would find it hard to cope with that. I have earned the status that I can tear the place down on my own. As the only German, I want to show myself to my family and friends, who saw me fight in front of 35 people ten years ago. That is important to me.”
