WWE’s Ivar has ‘very serious’ injury, still trying to figure out all options

Ivar is trying to figure out all of his options as he deals with a “very serious” injury.

Taking to social media on Friday, Ivar confirmed that he is legitimately injured. He clarified that he has not undergone surgery. Ivar thanked everyone for their love and support and noted that he’s still trying to figure out all of his options.

“There has been alot of misinformation floating around about me. Let me [clarify]: Yes I am injured,” Ivar wrote. “Yes it is very serious. No I have not had surgery. Still trying to figure out all options and what this means for my future. That being said, I Want to thank everyone for the out pouring of love and support, not only after finding out I was injured but thru out the last several months, I have heard you all!”

Ivar added that he’s determined to get back in the ring and perform for the fans.

“No matter what happens, I owe it to everyone who ever believed in me to do everything I can to get back in that ring, under those lights, and infront of the most amazing fans on the planet,” he wrote. “See you [as] soon as I can!”

There was an angle on NXT this week where Ivar was laid out backstage by the returning Gallus. WWE then announced that, because of the attack, Ivar would be out of action indefinitely.

Ivar vs. Wes Lee vs. Josh Briggs in a triple threat North American Championship number one contender’s match had been announced for next Tuesday’s WWE NXT. That episode has already been taped with Ivar not competing in the bout.

A match between Ivar and Tyler Bate was scheduled for next Wednesday’s WWE Speed episode. It will now be Bate vs. Apollo Crews.

After initially reporting that Ivar was just being given time off with how hard he’s worked of late, Dave Meltzer clarified in today’s Daily Update that the injury was more serious than that.

“Ivar’s injury is more serious than we were first led to believe,” Meltzer wrote. “They did an NXT angle where Gallus took him out as a storyline reason as he was not going to be around for a while.”
