As noted before, AAA Latin American Champion El Hijo del Vikingo has been out of action for WWE since this past late June due to a knee injury suffered during match rehearsals prior to the start of the June 30th WWE NXT show at the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. Vikingo underwent successful surgery earlier this month to repair his knee.
Dave Meltzer reported in this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter that his sources stated that Vikingo had suffered a torn ACL injury which he recently had underwent surgery for.
Meltzer reported that the current expectation is that Vikingo will be out of action for about nine months for his recovery.
Vikingo’s AAA Latin American Championship was officially vacated on the July 11th AAA TV show and details on how a new champion will be crowned is set to be revealed at this week’s show on July 18.
