Brian Cage is still on the road to recovery after tearing his quadriceps at an indie show earlier this year, but it sounds like even he doesn’t know what’s waiting for him in AEW when he gets back.
In a new interview on The All F’N Wrestling Show, Cage revealed he recently underwent knee surgery while rehabbing the quad tear and opened up about the uncertainty surrounding his return—and whether he’ll even be part of The Don Callis Family again. Cage admitted that he hasn’t been given any creative direction yet:
“I have no idea about any sort of creative plans for a return at all at this point. So, I mean, I guess anything could be possible.”
He also gave some insight into the state of The Don Callis Family in his absence and joked that Callis may have taken things further than expected:
“It’s funny too because I don’t think Don wanted that many people to begin with, and then I thought he kind of thought it was funny and was almost doing it comically, like making a joke about it, start adding people. And now it’s just like, now it’s over the fact that everyone’s just joining The Don Callis Family.”
With more wrestlers joining the faction, Cage said his own role is uncertain. He floated a few scenarios but made it clear nothing has been decided:
“Yeah, so I guess I come back and join him and be, you know, a super team. Or I don’t know why I would fight against him, though. Nothing’s happened, so I’m not really sure what’s going on… There’s a whole wide open versatility of what could happen, because there’s nothing set in stone at all for when I’m coming back or what I’m going to do when I come back.”
Cage remains one of AEW’s most physically dominant stars, and his eventual return could shake up whichever storyline he’s thrown into. But for now, it sounds like even The Machine is in the dark.
