NXT wrestler Ivar of the Viking Raiders is recovering from spine surgery after being written off television following an attack by the Gallus faction.
This week’s NXT saw Ivar, along with Wes Lee and Josh Briggs, incapacitated after an attack by Gallus. These three wrestlers were contenders for a match to determine the next challenger for the NXT North American Championship. While some fans speculated that Ivar wasn’t actually injured, the truth is now clear.
Surgery Confirmed by Medical Facility
The Andrew Sports Medicine social media account recently revealed that Ivar underwent spinal surgery. This same medical facility previously helped another NXT wrestler, Wes Lee, recover from an injury.
Despite initial reports suggesting no injury, Ivar’s surgery confirms the seriousness of the situation. While the recovery timeline for Ivar and the status of any injuries to Wes Lee or Josh Briggs remain unknown, fans are wishing Ivar a speedy return to the ring.
Spinal surgery can be a complex procedure, and a full recovery often takes time. Hopefully, in the coming weeks, more information will be available regarding the extent of Ivar’s injury and the expected timeframe for his return to NXT.
