Ospreay stated that he asked Khan for 5 minutes on the show to address something he was keeping as a secret. Ospreay revealed this to be him dealing with neck issues for over ten months.

After some more words, Ospreay stated that after what the Death Riders did to him, he was rushed to a hospital room for an MRI. Ospreay stated that they found issues in two of his vertebrae but doctors said it was treatable and he is currently hoping to be back in time for next month’s Forbidden Door 2025 event. Ospreay then thanked Swerve Strickland for his help at All In Texas and Hangman Page for winning the title. Ospreay then stated that for the Death Riders, its eye for an eye and he will come after them soon enough.
