AEW performer shares health update after being stretchered out of arena

A top AEW talent was recently injured at a major promotion shortly after returning from injury last month. The star being discussed is El Hijo Del Vikingo.

The 27-year-old star has occasionally wrestled for AEW since 2023. He wrestled just two matches in 2024, as he was absent most of the time. El Hijo Del Vikingo injured his right knee in February earlier this year and was out until September.

The former AAA Mega Champion returned to action last month. He recently wrestled at TNA's Bound of Glory show, where he failed to capture the TNA X Division Championship. At the recent tapings of the promotion, he wrestled Trent Seven and injured his leg once again. He was stretchered out of the arena immediately.

Following the unfortunate situation, El Hijo Del Vikingo took to social media and claimed he wasn't upset after the injury. He was looking to recover and make a huge comeback.

“Thanks to my brother Laredo Kid for accompanying me and keeping an eye on me. I chose this sport, I am happy for the good and the bad. I will recover and come back stronger than ever. Thanks to everyone who sent me a message!” he wrote.
