Backstage Austin Aries Injury Update and Possible WrestleMania 33 Plans

February 8, 2017

After suffering an orbital fracture in a match with Shinsuke Nakamura at an NXT live event on October 27, 2016, The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting Austin Aries has been medically cleared to return to the ring.

In related news, there has been talk of booking Austin Aries vs Neville for the WWE Cruiserweight Title at WrestleMania 33, however that match has yet to be confirmed.

Aries has been given a good amount of TV time while out of the ring recovering from injury, and his recent post-match interviews could be a way of building to a match against Neville at WrestleMania.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
