On The Wrestling Classic podcast, Ron Simmons confirmed he and Ahmed Johnson have made amends after being asked about a recent photo of them together. Simmons stated, "look, there are differences that we've had and which happens in this business, right? Look, it's been time to set that stuff aside and let it go." He cited the reality of "losing a lot of friends" in the business as a motivator, adding, "Look so hey, why not? Let's be on the same page with everything and enjoy these days..." Simmons concluded, "it's good to talk with my brother and get back to talking about some things that we love, yeah, and that's just fitness and other things in life. So, yeah everything's good."
