Off the heels of Relentless XXV, a rumor has circulated about the contract status of Dionysus Berget, who recently competed for the Television Title. The rumor circulated after he failed to report the day after for contract negotiations and left Houston to return home.

We have been able to reach Dionysus, who provided the following statement to us:

"Everything's fine, people. Its gonna take more than getting my ass kicked by Jason Cashe (again) to drive me away from here. You're stuck with me whether you like it or not!"

"Admittedly, I have been needing some time off for a while, but after angling for the Television Title, I didn't want to leave any uncertainty in that division. Since I'm not your new Television Champion, now seems as good a time as any to take that break."

"There are a few reasons why I am returning home for a bit; first and foremost is the grand opening of Berget Vineyards, which has been a long process with many setbacks. We are close to finalizing contracts and employment and getting ready to open, and that requires my attention."

"Additionally, I received word that my father is healthy enough to finally be able to relocate from Cambodia back to the states. Since he had been considered legally deceased for several years, there are a number of issues that need to be resolved. As his son, I owe it to him to help as best I can."

"I didn't want anyone to worry; management was gracious enough to grant me some leave time to settle these affairs, and when these are either finished or can be handled without me, then I will return."

"Or sooner, if there is need of me."
