Following an attack by a returning Gallus on NXT Tuesday night, WWE has announced that Ivar has suffered an injury.
WWE NXT took to social media this afternoon to announce that due to the attack by Gallus Tuesday night, Ivar is now injured and will be out indefinitely, tweeting out:
“BREAKING: As a result of the heinous attack by #Gallus at the end of #WWENXT, @Ivar_WWE has suffered an injury and will be out of action indefinitely,” WWE NXT said in a post.
Ivar responded to the post via a quote tweet while simply posting a broken heart emoji.
While many fans might think that this is simply a storyline, Ivar also retweeted a post from Andrew Sports Medicine earlier this afternoon, which, based on the hashtags, implies that Ivar is currently dealing with a spinal injury. You can check out that post embedded below.
Due to the injury, Apollo Crews will replace The Viking Raider in his upcoming WWE Speed match against Tyler Bate. Ivar has also been replaced in the upcoming triple threat contender’s match on next week’s episode of NXT.

On behalf of everyone here at WrestleZone, we wish Ivar a quick and painless recovery.
