Conflicting reports regarding the legitimacy of Ivar’s injury
Earlier this week, WWE announced that Ivar of The Viking Raiders will be out of action “indefinitely” due to an injury. In the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com stated the following…
“Ivar was announced as being injured from an attack by Gallus. He’s just being given time off because he’s been working so hard of late but it’s nothing serious and just an angle.”
However, it appears that Ivar has a legitimate injury. Fightful.com noted the following…
“Regarding reports that Ivar’s injury is a work, we’re told that isn’t true whatsoever. The severity of the injury isn’t known as of yet, but we’re told Ivar has long wrestled as if he’s on borrowed time after his double fusion surgery.”
Furthermore, Andrews Sports Medicine wrote on Twitter/X that Ivar will be working with them to overcome a spinal injury.
Thank you @Ivar_WWE for trusting in Dr. Andrew Cordover and his team to help you achieve #VictoryOverInjury!
