Former WWE/TNA wrestler EC3 revealed that he&#8217;s been hospitalized with a leg infection:
&#8220;Went to a Gathering. The woods gave me a souvenir.
Leg got infected. Hospital acquired. Well, I tried to acquire it last week and they said no and I said you sure? Then they said yes and 5 days later I said still sure and they said naaa.
I’m fine. Please spare anyone close to me the questions. Specifically @noahiscookinn.
They don’t know when I’ll be back. Neither do I.
Thank you for the well wishes in advances. Send them through vibes and not texts please.
Until then, I’ll be scribbling manifestos, reading &#8216;books&#8217; and watching Nolan movies.
(anyone happens to know where a man can legally and ethically rewatch The Odyssey from my MacBook Pro, point me in the right direction. I’ve already paid to see it three times. I’ve contributed to cinema.)&#8221;

EC3 Has Been Hospitalized

During the All In post show media scrum, Austin Creed explained why he and Kofi chose their AEW tag team name to be &#8220;New Level&#8221;:
&#8220;It works with every type of situation. We ourselves are on a new level and are bringing a new level of competition to professional wrestling. This new level is called New Level.
It makes perfect sense, as well as AEW. So it all fell into place. There is nothing called coincidence. So when we realized that, that&#8217;s the direction that we had to go.&#8221;

During the AEW All In post show media, The New Level&#8217;s Austin Creed and Kofi were asked to comment on their WWE departure.
Austin said:
&#8220;I always think about personalities in relationships. Different people have different personalities. Sometimes, personalities can grow. Sometimes they grow together and sometimes they grow apart. There is no bad, no good.
You are excited about the opportunities you had, things you learned, but that relationship was no longer one that we felt we needed to be in. To be able to look across the pond and see what was happening here, especially with tag team wrestling.
Yes, we&#8217;re pro wrestlers, but since I was a child, I wanted to be part of a tag team. To be able to come to a place that admires that and wants to cultivate that with legendary tag teams and young tag teams to where when the legendary ones are gone, the young ones are keeping the legacy going. That&#8217;s what is important to us. To be able to come here and do that is why we&#8217;re here.&#8221;
Kofi said:
&#8220;I can&#8217;t sum it up any better than that. I&#8217;m not one to really live in the past. I&#8217;m really all about looking towards the future. We just want to be part of the greatest tag team division in the history of wrestling. Being able to mix it up with these guys is what it&#8217;s all about. That&#8217;s why we&#8217;re here.&#8221;
