Chris Bey Reflects on His Broken Neck Injury Recovery

As noted before, Chris Bey has been out of action for TNA Wrestling since October of 2024 due to a broken neck injury and surgery.

Bey reflected on Friday on Twitter about him celebrating his 30th birthday and his recovery process for his broken neck injury.

“Birthday = Gratitude.

God is good.

1 year ago today I was taking my first steps unassisted and posting to the world about my injury. The support has been overwhelming and I can’t describe how I feel other than grateful,” he wrote. “From that moment on I walked independently, no matter the distance, 1 step at a time. Thank you all for walking with me. Time to jump into the next chapter. I love you all. #GSET.”

Dani Luna Makes Surprise Return at TNA No Surrender 2026

Friday’s TNA No Surrender 2026 event at The Pinnacle in Nashville, Tennessee featured Dani Luna making her surprise return.

During the TNA Knockouts World Championship match between Arianna Grace and Lei Ying Lee, Luna’s music played to interrupt and came out on the stage. Before Luna could make her way to the ring, TNA security rushed out and prevented her from doing so. This led to Luna laying out a security member before making her way to the back.

This was Luna’s first appearance in TNA since this past December. Luna had been originally scheduled to compete at this past January’s Genesis 2026 event but was unable to travel due to work visa-related issues.

Mustafa Ali Comments on His Reasons For His Decision to Re-Sign with TNA

A recent episode of the Rewind, Recap, Relive podcast featured Mustafa Ali as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Ali’s thoughts about his decision to re-sign with TNA Wrestling earlier this year.

“I’m so grateful to be involved in the industry at a time where so many friends, people that I consider family are flourishing. There’s opportunity everywhere and that’s not meant to kind of like rub it in someone’s face. That’s meant to like motivate those out there that are pursuing a contract or are trying to make pro wrestling, the way that they put food on the table. It’s so possible, man. It takes a lot of work, a lot of grit. It’s very competitive, but the opportunities, to a point are kind of everywhere. You just got to go and take advantage of that. TNA and me specifically, it’s just this synergy. It’s this fit. I get along, really, really well with Carlos (Silva) and the creative department. I’m a very hands-on, opinionated person, I still think I’m a good soldier, I might question the order before I go and do it, but at the end of the day, if my sergeant or if the person above me gives me an order, I follow through on that, so I’ll never knock myself for that. I definitely am a team player. But man, am I opinionated, and that’s welcomed with the creative team and TNA and with Carlos, I have ideas, I have visions. I want to say like nine times out of 10, you know, they kind of see the vision with me, and it’s not a knock on other places. It’s just that I’ve been able to develop that relationship. That was a big key component for me. I’m very, very blessed to be able to do this for such a long time where I’m able to provide for my family financially. Selfishly, I was looking to be creatively fulfilled, and I feel like the best chance I had of doing that is with TNA, and I’m so happy. I actually was negotiating this deal before I even knew about the network deal being finalized. You always hear about deals. You always hear, you know, in wrestling, it’s like, I’ll believe it till I see it. So I can, you know, I’m not saying I didn’t believe it, but I definitely was like, we’ll see, you know? So I still kind of decided to stay here with TNA, despite not knowing that the network deal was on the horizon. So it was kind of like a, I re-signed and then a couple of weeks later, oh, we’re on TV as well with AMC. So it was like a nice little cherry on top. But very grateful and appreciative for the opportunity to have here at TNA.”

Ali also gave his thoughts about how he had “bet” his job in TNA that he could pull off the spot where he was dragged away on his feet by a horse ridden by Elijah at this past December’s Final Resolution 2025 event.

“The director of the show, comes out and he thinks the stunt’s not possible. He doesn’t, he doesn’t trust the horse. It’s live. If the horse gets scared, if he doesn’t pull, he’s like, you’re going to look like an idiot, and the big thing is that there was AMC executives there that day. You have to make a good impression, right? Like they don’t want to see something like, and especially on me too. They go, ‘who’s this guy?’ You know? So he’s very, I don’t think- this is where I’m going to pull the plug on this, and I just grab him by the hand. I go, I know. This seems like it’s- I guarantee you I can pull this off. He goes, how confident are you? For some reason, I said, ‘I bet my job on it. I was like, ‘if I don’t pull this off, you could fire me on the spot’, and he goes, ‘remember what you said’, and then walked away. I go, oh! We pulled it off. I didn’t get fired. So, yeah, yeah. But, yeah, sometimes, man, just, like, shoot or shoot, man. You know, there’s, I can’t, it’s not like me and the horse had some, like, synergy going on. I just- that’s one thing about me. Like, even if it’s dangerous, if I see something and I think I can pull it off, I’m going to go for it, you know? I’m going to grit my teeth and go for it. When the director- and rightfully so, he’s just protecting the product and, you know, the brand and me in a way, you know? But I just knew I could pull it off. So, yeah, that’s me putting all the chips on the table.”
