Jimmy has been absent from the ring for over five months. His last match was a singles action match with his twin brother at the WrestleMania 40 Night 1 show.
Later, Solo Sikoa attacked him on April 12, which caused him several injuries, but the details haven’t been publicly revealed.
He kicked him out of the Bloodline and replaced him with Tama Tonga.
On the other hand, his fans were worried about his health and hoped he would recover healthily. They also mentioned that they would be blessed to see him in action in the ring.
Jimmy himself confirmed the news of being okay, and the random assumptions were unnecessary.
Jimmy’s doing fine. I think at any given moment, hopefully that Jimmy will be ready to come back to be able to do what he loves. I’m sure he misses the fans and I’m sure you all miss Jimmy so… He’s doing great. He’s got some time to be able to rest the body, rest the mind, and he’s ready to go, so, hopefully we’re able to see Jimmy soon.
Rikishi expressed
Although Jimmy will return to the ring soon, he isn’t guaranteed to fight alone or with his brothers to take down Sikoa.
He might partner with his brother again and participate in Survivor Series 2024 of Bloodline War Games Match.
