WWE Raw star Erik of The Viking Raiders begins his road to recovery.
The former Tag Team Champion has been sidelined following surgery being required on his neck. In an update on Instagram, the Raw star revealed that he has had his C6 and C7 discs fused and thanked medical staff in Alabama as his recovery begins:
I cannot express the proper gratitude and thankfulness to the amazing Dr Cordover and his incredible staff at @andrews_sports_medicine and St Vincent’s Hospital in Birmingham, AL and to @wwe for always making sure I have the best care possible. C6 / C7 fusion surgery was successful and recovery begins now. I’m excited for all the possibilities once my cybernetic upgrades come fully online.
When Did The Viking Raiders Last Wrestle On WWE TV?
The Viking Raiders last competed on the September 11th episode of Main Event, where they defeated the team of Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin.
As the recovery does not want to be rushed, there is currently no return window for the Raw star following the surgery. It has been previously noted by Raw announcer Wade Barrett that Erik would be out of action “for the foreseeable future.”
While one-half of The Viking Raiders has been off TV to receive surgery, partner Ivar has received a singles push on Raw. Ivar has been impressing backstage officials with his matches against Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods and will be competing in a 4-way match to crown a new number-one contender to the Intercontinental Championship on November 6th.
Inside The Ropes would like to wish Erik a full and speedy recovery.
