“I’m alive. I’m so excited to be here, believe it or not. I know I don’t sound like it… GiGi’s had a rough week. Two E.R. visits, two minor surgeries this week. Didn’t make it to TNA tapings…
I’m almost back to 100 percent.”

Gurv Shira Collapsed Lung Injury & Recovery Update

As noted before, The Bollywood Boyz’s Gurvinder “Gurv” Sihra, former Sunil Singh in WWE, suffered a collapsed lung injury during a match at an event for Pure Power Wrestling in Canada this past September. Shira had provided an update that same month revealing that his collapsed lung is healing and he is on the right path to recovery.

Shira provided another update on Tuesday on Twitter stating that h still has a cut on his lung tissue and has yet to be medically cleared for an in-ring return.

“Quick update: Just finished my follow up with my ER Trauma Doctor. X-rays show I still have a cut on my lung tissue from rib impact which is leaking some air from my lungs. Obviously still not cleared for in ring or flying. However, I’m able to start working out, which is great.”

Tetsuya Naito Comments on Him No Longer Having Any Lingering Feelings Towards NJPW

Pro Wrestling NOAH recently held a post-N-1 Victory 2026 Finals press conference in Tokyo, Japan featuring current GHC Heavyweight Champion Tetsuya Naito as one of the guests. One of the topics discussed included Naito’s thoughts about him no longer holding any lingering feelings towards his former company NJPW.

“Personally, I think it’s actually more of a cop-out not to mention New Japan Pro-Wrestling—which is currently the number one promotion in the country—so I’ve brought up the name New Japan Pro-Wrestling myself many times. But for the past two days or so… there’s been a wrestler who’s been going on and on about ‘New Japan Pro-Wrestling, New Japan Pro-Wrestling’ even more than I have. You know who I’m talking about, right? It’s the guy next to me. I heard he wanted to become a pro wrestler in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, but maybe he couldn’t? I don’t really know. There’s no need to hide that past, and I think it’s fine to bring it up. So I wonder why there’s so much criticism and negative opinions when I mention New Japan Pro-Wrestling. I’m serious about making Pro Wrestling NOAH the number one promotion in Japan, and to do that, there’s no way around New Japan Pro-Wrestling. That’s why I’ll keep mentioning New Japan Pro-Wrestling over and over again, but I have absolutely no lingering feelings toward New Japan Pro-Wrestling. Absolutely none.”
