El Hijo del Vikingo avoided a major injury at last Sunday’s TNA Impact TV taping and said he expects to be back in action in less than a month.
The former AAA Mega Champion took to Instagram Thursday to provide the update, saying the injury in his match with Trent Seven that caused him to be stretchered out “did not affect any ligament or muscle.”
“I have to rest for 5 days while the swelling goes down, then start rehabilitation until I am 100% recovered, I will be out for 15-to-20 days,” he wrote (translated from Spanish), thanking TNA, AAA, and the fans who reached out to him.
He sustained the injury following a corkscrew to Seven on the outside of the ring that caused the match to be stopped.
After being out of action for more than seven months, Vikingo made his in-ring return for AAA in a late-September trios match. The 27-year-old hadn’t wrestled since February when he suffered a torn meniscus and ruptured ligament in a match that same month in Mexico. He wrestled against TNA X-Division Champion Mike Bailey at Saturday’s Bound for Glory pay-per-view.
