NXT fans were shocked to see Ivar of the Viking Raiders taken out by Gallus during a recent episode. He was supposed to be in a match to determine the next challenger for the NXT North American Championship, but the attack left him unable to compete.
While initial reports suggested Ivar might be faking the injury, the truth is now clear: Ivar is legitimately hurt.
Wrestling with Past Injury
It seems Ivar might have been pushing himself too hard. Reports indicate he’s been wrestling with the knowledge of a previous double fusion neck surgery. This means he’s been aware of potential risks, but still competing in the ring.
The severity of Ivar’s current injury is unknown, but it’s serious enough to require surgery. Fans are worried but hopeful. They’re sending their best wishes for Ivar’s recovery and a speedy return to the NXT ring.
Unfortunately, the exact timeline for his return remains unknown. Spinal surgery can be a complex procedure, and a full recovery often takes time. In the coming weeks, hopefully more information will be available regarding the extent of Ivar’s injury and the expected timeframe for his return to NXT.
