“We had him set up, so he was on a headset over the last two days, kinda being involved. And as he gets his strength back and everything’s feeling good,” Triple H noted, “he’ll be back at it and being the ‘Road Dogg’ in no time. So, I just wanted to give a shout-out to him and we greatly miss him here. He will be back soon enough, but he is doing well.”
