Erik of the Viking Raiders announced today that he underwent surgery to remove a surgical screw that was “protruding into [his] triceps.”
Today I had hardware removed from my cyborg arm. I’ve been putting off this surgery for a long time and just worked thru the pain and limitations caused by a surgical screw protruding into my triceps.
Thanks to the wonderful Dr Dugas, I’m excited to come back at full strength. pic.twitter.com/9iwOr8jZKE

He said that he had been putting off the surgery for a while.
There’s no word on how long he could be out.
His tag team partner Ivar just underwent neck surgery last month, which could keep him out for over a year.
