El Hijo del Vikingo announced on July 6 that he will undergo surgery on his left knee on Tuesday. Vikingo suffered the injury while preparing for his AAA Latin American Championship defense against EK Prosper at the June 30 NXT. His knee was badly swollen, requiring the match to be pulled from the card.
Vikingo made the announcement on his own social media, confirming surgery will take place.
No timeline for his return has been given. Vikingo has an extensive history of knee injuries, having previously undergone surgery on his right knee for a torn meniscus in 2024.
