Nick Gage Currently In Treatment, Pulled From Indy Dates

GCW owner Brett Lauderdale has announced that Nick Gage is "currently in treatment" and he plans to remain in a treatment programme indefinitely.

"Was gonna hold off on any kind of public update but ive seen people speculating, so ill give a brief update...Nick Gage will not be attending any shows for the forseeable future. He is currently in treatment (and has been for several weeks) and plans to stay indefinitely," Lauderdale tweeted.

"Any promoters that have made deposits for shows coming up that he will not be able to attend will be made whole as soon as possible. Expect an update directly from the man himself when the time is right... in the meantime, thanks to all who have been supportive, MDK all fn day."

Gage is no longer a part of Game Changer Wrestling, although he noted in 2024 that he remains close to Brett Lauderdale. Gage last wrestled for GCW in August 2024, but he continues to perform on the indies, including for CZW.

Nick Gage has suffered from substance abuse issues for much of his adult life. The 45-year-old had a stint in rehab in 2024.
