Gabe Sapolsky released an email news alert stating that Roderick Strong will not be in action at the Florida shows this weekend. Sapolsky wrote:
“Roderick Strong suffered a graphic neck injury last weekend. We had constant communication with Strong since the injury and monitored his progress. We were all the under the impression he would be able to perform this weekend at EVOLVE. However, today he felt discomfort in his neck when he worked out. After a conference call today, it was decided that for Roderick’s future it was best he rest as a precaution. Roderick will still be at Friday’s EVOLVE 25 card to sign autographs and meet you. We will welcome him in the DGUSA/EVOLVE ring when he is ready.”
