Ivar, one-half of the popular Viking Raiders tag team, has been sidelined with a legitimate injury. This comes after weeks of uncertainty surrounding his absence from WWE television.
Ivar was scheduled for a North American Championship contender match on NXT but was found attacked backstage. The culprits? The recently returned faction Gallus.
NXT Star Out with “Serious” Injury
WWE initially announced Ivar’s absence as storyline-related, but Ivar himself confirmed it was a serious injury. This news has left fans worried about Ivar’s wrestling future.
In a surprising turn of events, Joe Coffey, leader of Gallus, offered his support to Ivar on Twitter. While they are rivals on screen, Coffey called Ivar a “workhorse” and wished him a speedy recovery.
Fans are hopeful that Ivar can heal quickly and return to the ring. In the meantime, his injury casts some doubt on his wrestling future.
Coffey’s message highlights the camaraderie that can exist between wrestlers, even between rivals. While they may battle it out in the ring, wrestlers often respect each other’s talent and dedication to the sport. Hopefully, Ivar can recover fully and rejoin the NXT competition, potentially even facing Gallus in a future storyline.
