Dorian Van Dux Punctured Lung Injury Update – Van Dux Cleared To Compete

As noted before, Dorian Van Dux has been out of action for NXT due to him recently suffering a punctured lung injury. Van Dux’s status for this year’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic was uncertain at the time of the injury announcement during last week’s WWE NXT show.

Van Dux’s tag team partner Sean Legacy provided an update earlier today on Twitter posting a video of him getting a call from Van Dux who informed him that he has been medically cleared to compete.
