AAA star posts update following surgery
AAA Lucha Libre star El Hijo del Vikingo has posted an update following his knee surgery. The AAA Latin American Champion shared photos of himself on crutches in a social media post this past Monday, thanking fans and announcing that he would be undergoing surgery this Tuesday.
Vikingo reportedly suffered the injury just hours prior to a scheduled title match against EK Prosper that was to take place on last week’s NXT. An angle took place instead where Keanu Carver was seen standing over an injured Vikingo. The match was instead changed to Prosper taking on Carver, with Prosper winning the match.
El Hijo del Vikingo Injury Update
Vikingo posted the following to Instagram confirming his successful surgery (translated): “Nothing will be the same again, but everything can be better than it ever was. HDLV family everything was a success thanks to God 🙏 Thank you my beautiful doll @aleidis_oficial.”
The Instagram post also has a video showing the now-injured star in his hospital bed, but he does look in good spirits and is with his wife Diana Jauregui (also known as Aleidis and her face is blurred out as she wears a mask).
It is not currently known how long Vikingo will now be out of action, but there is a good chance he’ll now be out of the ring until early 2027.
