We have an update on the status of The Viking Raiders' Ivar after he suffered an injury during a six-man tag team match last week on Raw.
Ivar dived through the ropes to take down members of The Hurt Business on the outside, and although he appeared to land safely enough, he threw up the "X" sign (an indication that a legit injury has occurred and assistance is needed) almost immediately. WWE later revealed that Ivar sustained some kind of "cervical injury" as a result of the dive, but didn't share any specifics.
Now, Dave Meltzer is reporting that Ivar's injury occurred as a result of his head colliding with Bobby Lashley's shoulder, and he may have also done some damage to his neck. Apparently, WWE has yet to determine if the Viking Raider will require surgery, but he does have a history of neck issues, so there's a chance he could be out of action for quite a while regardless.
If he does end up on the shelf for an extended period of time, it would obviously be a huge blow to the red brand's already sparse tag team division.
We should get official word on Ivar's status later tonight on Raw, so stay tuned for updates.
