Injuries are just a matter of time from happening for all wrestlers and that usually impacts booking plans a promotion has.
El Hijo del Vikingo is a man in demand as he wrestles for AEW, ROH and AAA in addition to his indy bookings. Last Saturday, while working the ROH TV tapings, Vikingo teamed with Metalik and Gravity against Serpentico, Angelico, and Tony Nese when he was injured during a dive with the initial hope that he just suffered a deep drive. He was seen using a wheelchair afterward.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted Vikingo is dealing with a hip injury, putting his MegaChampionship match in AAA this weekend against Kommander in jeopardy.
“He got hurt, as we talked about last night. He got hurt on Saturday night. And it’s a hip injury. He’s got a title match in Mexico on Saturday against Kommander, and the last I heard last night is that it’s not 100% that he won’t be doing it, although it’s probable. They’re holding out hope. He was talking like, ‘I’m going to try to rehab all week and see.’ There’s no guarantee that he’s wrestling on Saturday. It’s touch and go. So that’s the situation. But he could be out for a little while, but he didn’t break his hip, thank God. It was a pretty serious injury.”
