Dexter Lumis Could Be Pulled from Upcoming WWE NXT Takeover XXX Event

Dexter Lumis’ ankle injury is worst than expected, according to a report by WWE.

WWE provided an update on the status of Dexter Lumis today and indicated that he could be pulled from his upcoming match for the North American Championship at NXT Takeover XXX.

WWE plans to provide an update on his status during today’s episode of The Bump.

Below is is the full statement from WWE.

WWE Digital has learned that the severity of the ankle injury suffered by Dexter Lumis is worse than previously reported.

In last week’s NXT Injury Report, it was revealed that Lumis had suffered an osteochondral lesion to the talus after a grueling battle with Finn Bálor and Timothy Thatcher for a North American Championship Match opportunity.

Lumis won the bout, but the growing severity of his ankle injury has raised some questions around Lumis’ status for the North American Championship Ladder Match at TakeOver XXX.

Catch WWE’s The Bump tomorrow morning on the award-winning WWE Network and WWE’s social platforms at 10 a.m. ET/ 7 a.m. PT for the latest on the developing situation.

And tune in to NXT on the USA Network at 8/7 C tomorrow night.
