Jake Something Taking Break for Undisclosed Injury & Potential Surgery

Jake Something announced on Tuesday on Twitter that he will be taking a break from TNA and wrestling to heal up from an undisclosed injury. Something also stated that he likely will need to undergo surgery for his injury.

I have to go away for a while to heal up. Leah needs surgery, and I(probably) do too.
Thank you for all the love and support, especially to @deadlockpro for all their help. Please support that company, truly the best. pic.twitter.com/G3MwxR0mQE

JBL Comments on Him Interfering in Joe Hendry Matches Being “You’ll Find Out What I Think About Him”

In recent months, WWE Hall of Famer John Bradshaw Layfield has made several appearances in TNA Wrestling revolving him showing up and interfering in notable matches involving Nic Nemeth and Joe Hendry.

A recent episode of the Something To Wrestle with Bruce Prichard podcast featured JBL as the host. One of the topics discussed included JBL’s thoughts about him interfering in Hendry’s matches in TNA.

“[I’m also] around Nic Nemeth matches. Nic is to me one of the best workers in the world, period, any federation. I’ve never seen Nic have a bad match. I called most of his matches when he came in because I was doing commentary [in WWE]. Man, he and Del Rio, I saw him down in Mexico have another great match. I’ve never seen Nic have a bad match. He is in better shape now than he’s ever been. Most guys age, he doesn’t. He’s better than he’s ever been, and he looks better than he’s ever been. I have a lot of love and respect for Nic, for his work.
Joe Hendry to me is I think the most over guy outside of WWE. It’s amazing, the presence that Joe Hendry has. You look at the social media stuff he does…Joe Hendry is incredibly over right now. People are asking me, ‘Do I believe in Joe Hendry?’ You’re gonna find out real quick what I think about Joe Hendry. It will unfold itself very easily in the next few months, whether I believe in Joe Hendry or whether I don’t believe in Joe Hendry. But there will be something with Joe Hendry.”
