Juice Robinson, who has been out of action, was backstage at AEW Double or Nothing over the weekend.

For those who have asked about injuries, we know there was concern over Jamie Hayter after a DDT spot against Mercedes Mone. We were told by one source she was checked out after the match but haven't heard anything beyond that.

Beyond bumps and bruises, there doesn't seem to be any major injuries coming out of Anarchy in the Arena but we were told booking will likely be done in a way to give those banged up a chance to rest their bodies.

There was a lot of back and forth over whether Hangman Page or Will Ospreay should emerge victorious on Sunday and we are told it could have gone either way until late in the day when the decision was made to have Page avenge last year's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament loss and put him in the position of challenging at All In: Texas.

AEW morale was way up after the PPV as it was felt to be one of the best top to bottom presentations from the company in some time, according to a number of talents we have spoken with over the last 48 hours.

One talent noted that the pop during Anarchy in the Arena for the song Bodies by Drowning Pool was "one of the coolest moments ever" for the company live in their opinion.

There was a lot of happiness among talents over Darby Allin scaling Mount Everest as it was well known that has been a personal goal of his for a long time.

A follow-up came this afternoon from Ross’ friend and podcasting partner Conrad Thompson, and it sounds like good news. Reposting Ross’ message from this morning, Thompson added:

Just heard from @rmorfnyc [AEW Vice President of Live Events and Touring Rafael Morffi, whom JR referred to as his “son” on Monday’s podcast] that JR’s surgery went well and they hope to have successfully removed all of his cancer this morning! Please keep @JRsBBQ in your thoughts and prayers as he begins his recovery!
Ross said he doesn’t plan to retire from calling PPV and other big matches from AEW, but is looking at six days of in-patient care at the hospital coming out of today’s surgery.
