WWE Wrestler Ej Hijo del Vikingo Injured in Kayfabe Attack, Knee Status Pending MRI
WWE
An update on AAA star Ej Hijo del Vikingo’s injury status has emerged following the cancellation of his WWE NXT match against EK Prosper due to a knee injury sustained during rehearsals. Per PWInsider, WWE is awaiting MRI results to determine the extent of the damage, with the wrestler previously sidelined for an extended period due to recurring knee issues.
The NXT bout promotion was removed from WWE’s social media channels, with the storyline now attributing Vikingo’s injury to a backstage assault by Keanu Carver, who wielded a lead pipe. Carver’s attack followed Prosper’s June 30 victory over him, which prompted Vikingo’s intervention. Despite the injury, Vikingo remains active on AAA television and is signed to a WWE contract.
As WWE prepares for a pre-taped SmackDown episode to celebrate the Fourth of July holiday, the roster will feature Vikingo in a match against Rey Fenix for the AAA World Cruiserweight Championship—a contest announced after the injury occurred. This match marks Vikingo’s SmackDown debut since joining WWE.
The report highlights that Vikingo previously lost the AAA Mega Championship to Dominik Mysterio at WWE’s World Collide event in September 2025, a title still held by Judgment Day member Dominik. WrestleTalk will continue to update readers as more details surface regarding Vikingo’s recovery timeline.
WWE sends its best wishes to Ej Hijo del Vikingo for a swift recovery.
