Jade Cargill, Mercedes Moné, and others react to former WWE star's heartfelt update ahead of RAW

AEW star Mercedes Moné, WWE Superstar Jade Cargill, and several others have reacted to a veteran's heartfelt message ahead of tonight's edition of RAW. This week's show will take place in Indianapolis, and it was announced today that the city will also be hosting Royal Rumble 2025.

TJ Wilson, formerly known in WWE as Tyson Kidd, suffered a career-ending injury in 2015. Despite no longer being able to perform in the ring, Wilson is making an impact in the business as a producer for WWE. Earlier today, the veteran noted it was the nine-year anniversary of his spinal fusion surgery and thanked his doctor in a heartfelt post.

"9 years ago today, @thejuanuribe performed a c1-c2 spinal fusion surgery that saved my life. His expertise in this area is second to none and I can never thank him enough for giving me a second chance to live my life to the fullest. He’s the best of the best—," wrote Wilson.

WWE Superstar Natalya praises Jade Cargill

Natalya recently praised Jade Cargill for her dedication to the craft and revealed how the former AEW star earned her respect.

Speaking with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Bill Apter in an exclusive interview earlier this year, the veteran shared that Cargill kept training with her after the latter's mother had passed away. She said she watched The Storm go through one of the most difficult things imaginable but her focus on improving in the ring did not waver.

"Jade [Cargill] is gonna blow everybody away. I think she is really passionate about this. I think she is gonna be good, I think she is gonna be really good.... What really impressed me with Jade is that when she approached me about coming to train with us in the dungeon, she had just lost her mom. And I just felt like that showed... She was going probably one of the most difficult things a person could go through, but she was still showing so much passion for this and wanting to do this, and so much focus and so much drive. It really made me respect her even more," said Natalya. [From 01:10 onwards]
