WWE has been announcing injuries to its stars in recent weeks, and that trend continues today.
WWE pulled Bobby Lashley and Zelina Vega from the King and Queen of the Ring Tournament due to injuries. On Thursday, another star was announced as injured as the company claimed that Ivar will be out of action indefinitely.
This is after they wrote him off television this past week on NXT when Gallus attacked him and Wes Lee to close the show. As a result, Ivar will be out of action and pulled from his scheduled bouts.
Those bouts include facing Tyler Bate on WWE Speed next Wednesday and a triple-threat match on WWE NXT next week, where he was replaced by Gallus’ Joe Coffey. Apollo Crews will replace him in the WWE Speed match.
Ivar had been slated for a match against Andrade in March but was pulled after he wasn’t medically cleared to perform, only to work a match against Sami Zayn a week later.
