10 Ups & 3 Downs From This Week's Impact Wrestling (Aug 9)

2. Cage's Update

Yet again, we were given another update on Brian Cage's health that was a shambles from start to finish if we're being completely honest.

To start with, Melissa Santos told Jimmy Jacobs that she wasn't pleased at all with Michael Elgin's actions towards 'The Machine' during their Street Fight a few weeks ago, a match that was nothing more than a one-sided beatdown courtesy of 'Big Mike'. Why though? Those two don't see eye to eye and it was a Street Fight (a match with no rules), so she can't argue a point there, no matter what her relationship is with Cage.

Secondly, when Santos was asked about a possible return date for the World Champion, she replied by saying that's currently unknown as he needs to be seen by some more specialists due to his pain coming and going in terms of severity. That's fine (of course it is, his health comes first), but why did we need to have this update if there's no new information known?

We only received the same information we knew before, with the only proper addition being that Melissa isn't sure if Cage will need to relinquish the title or not. A waste of time.
