Dominik Dijakovic undergoes surgery for torn meniscus

Dominic Dijakovic has undergone surgery to repair a torn meniscus.

In a tweet today, Dijakovic revealed that he had surgery on Tuesday in Orlando, Florida to repair the meniscus. WWE.com later confirmed the surgery, but did not provide further details as to when the injury occurred. 

Dijakovic did not appear at the last set of NXT television tapings after Dijakovic vs. Velveteen Dream for the NXT North American Championship had been teased in the prior tapings. Velveteen Dream vs. Tyler Breeze appears to be the new direction while Dijakovic is out of action. 

WWE’s Big E is also currently out of action following surgery to repair a meniscus tear. While no official timetable has given for either man’s recovery, the standard surgical repair for a meniscus tear is arthroscopic. A typical recovery timetable from arthroscopic knee surgery is 2 to 6 weeks.

In his post, Dijakovic delivered an in-character promo, vowing to return and capture the North American championship.
