We have a few more details today on the Jon Huber, a/k/a Brodie Lee (and Luke Harper). Via Instagram his wife Amanda said that AEW's Chief Legal Officer and Senior VP Megha Parekh and the Khan family were able to get Huber airlifted from Tampa (where he and his family lived) to the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville for treatment on October 31st. At the outset his condition was "bleak" and chances of his recovery were "always strongly against him." He let a few people in the company know his condition on November 7th but asked them to keep it quiet (and they did). His best chance of making it would have been a lung transplant, but at 6'5" and 275 lbs. the chances of finding one right for him were low at best, and (I'm sadly familiar with this part) even if they had there's every chance they wouldn't have gone ahead with it as he'd be unlikely to survive if his condition was too far advanced. Had he had the transplant he would have been immuno-compromised for the rest of his life and needed daily medication to avoid organ rejection, which would definitely have complicated his career with or without the additional risk of contracting COVID-19 in that state. It has been noted again that he was tested multiple times for COVID throughout his treatment and every single time it came back negative, so the lung issue was not COVID-related. (WO)

New Japan World had one of the best (if not THE best) weeks ever in their history due to the number of new subscribers they gained due to people wanting to watch Wrestle Kingdom 15. It's believed many of the subscribers are fans who couldn't attend the Tokyo Dome due to COVID restrictions. The exact number isn't available right now, but the largest increase before this week was in 2018, when people joined to see Kenny Omega vs. Chris Jericho at Wrestle Kingdom 12. (WO)
