As PWMania.com previously reported, TNA star Chris Bey suffered a serious neck injury at Sunday night’s TNA Impact TV tapings in Detroit, Michigan, and had to undergo emergency surgery at a local hospital just hours later. During the same set of TV tapings, Lucha libre star El Hijo del Vikingo suffered a leg injury while attempting a dive to the outside of the ring during his match with Trent Seven.
TNA Wrestling recently provided an update on both stars.
The company wrote, “Chris Bey is recovering at the hospital following surgery for the neck injury suffered Sunday night and he had an MRI procedure on Monday. He was resting in his hospital room Monday night, joking, talking about Bound For Glory and in good spirits. Chris will be in Detroit for a few days and family members have joined him, along with TNA Wrestling management and wrestlers who are staying in Detroit.
Chris is under professional care and supervision, and the local medical staff has been in contact with his personal doctor.
Vikingo returned to the Detroit hotel Sunday night after being treated at the hospital for a right knee injury. He is on crutches and wearing a leg brace. Vikingo flew home to Mexico on Monday, where he will be examined and treated by his specialist.
TNA Wrestling thanks everyone for their continued thoughts and prayers. We will update when additional updates are known. Please respect the privacy of Chris Bey and Vikingo, and their families, during this difficult time.”
