AAA Mega Champion El Hijo Del Vikingo is doing fine following his match against Chad Gable at WWE Worlds Collide, according to PWInsider. There were some worries after the main event, as Vikingo appeared to be favoring his leg. However, the report confirmed that no injuries were sustained during the match. Vikingo also showed up at the Money In The Bank PLE later the same day, which further eased concerns. It’s believed he was simply selling the effects of the match.

• Backstage News On Who Knew About R-Truth’s Return
According to Fightful Select, most WWE staff and talent had no idea about R-Truth’s return until right before the match. Only a small group of people were aware ahead of time, and the whole thing was kept tightly under wraps for obvious reasons. R-Truth revealed on Twitter that his WWE exit wasn’t a work, and further wrote:
“#WeWantTruth was seen, heard, felt and understood… Believe me when I say this, I Love EVERYONE of yall to death. We made history together.”
Bodyslam reported the following about Truth’s new deal: “The new deal came together sometime on Friday. This new deal isn’t a normal active working talent deal but it gives him the opportunity for one true final run.”
Fightful Select previously reported that WWE President Nick Khan directly contacted Truth to finalize a new contract. R-Truth has noted in past interviews that he wants to retire as a serious character and not a comedy character.
