BJ Ray Underwent Torn Rotator Cuff & Labrum Surgery

WWE LFG talent BJ Ray announced on Twitter that he recently underwent surgery for a torn rotator cuff and labrum injury.

“Cats out of the bag! Yes… ever since my return on LFG season one I have been competing with a 100% torn rotator cuff and labrum. The surgeon asked me “Bro how have you been wrestling, the only thing holding your shoulder together is your muscle fibers”. I told em “The show must go on”. That’s right, I wrestled both seasons of LFG basically not even able to wrestle because I knew that my personality was more than any other contender had. I have absolutely zero regrets and my shoulder is now repaired. I will be back in no time and actually and able to lift my arm without it feeling detached from my body. Appreciate the love. As the ratings machine, I felt it was my duty to still be out there putting on for y’all. As well as the WWE and A&E asking me to push through as 25% of myself, because they knew how many views I drew. We will be back in no time baby!”

Backstage Update on Jazmyn Nyx WWE Departure & Turning Down New Contract Offer

As noted before, WWE NXT talent Jazmyn Nyx, real name Jade Gentile, will be leaving the company once her current contract expires. Nyx had revealed that she was leaving the company due their offer for a new three-year deal did not make financial sense for her. Nyx had recently responded to a fan stating that she was not making six figures nor $80,000 per year in NXT.

The Wrestling Observer’s Bryan Alvarez reported on Twitter that his sources stated that WWE’s offer for a new contract that Nyx had turned down was for around $98,000 per year.

“I’m told Jazmyn’s original deal was $75,000 and her new offer which she turned down was approximately $98,000.”
