We’ve been told that at the moment, Saurav Gurjar is actually back home in India and has been for quite a while. We’ve heard of no plans for him to return to television imminently.
My Take:
- I definitely feel bad for the guy. Unfortunately, that is how things go in WWE. Maybe he will get another chance in the future.

As seen on the show, there was a specific finish they were getting to, and Miz was applauded, figuratively, for making sure he got there despite serious injury. This is the first major injury of Miz’s career
My Take:
- The Miz is one tough dude. ACL tears are no joke and to be able to finish a match with one is pretty crazy. Props to him.
