Erik had previously suffered a broken arm back in 2014 due to a motorcycle accident. The Viking Raiders member was last seen against in a losing effort against Riddick Moss. Two weeks back, he suffered another loss to Moss on Raw Underground. Erik is definitely out for the time being after his surgery. Unfortunately, there is no good news about his partner Ivar either.

On the Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer spoke about how bad Ivar’s condition is.

“Nothing is for sure, but it has not been determined whether or not he will need surgery. It’s a significant injury, once you say that it tells you that it’s not like a stinger where you’re gonna come back in two weeks. It’s probably a lot worse than that. So, it’s not determined yet, but it’s absolutely as of today a possibility.”

If rumors are to be believed, the Viking Raider may be out of action for a year or even more. With both members out with injury, it will be interesting to see what the road ahead will be like for both these superstars, especially with WWE cutting down on staff due to COVID-19 budget cuts.
