Javier Bernal recently suffered a significant injury that required surgery, which will likely sideline him for a while. He has since shared updates on his recovery progress, including some graphic photos of his post-surgery condition.
On the June 7th episode of Level Up, Bernal competed in his latest match. However, he later shocked fans during a Twitch stream by revealing that he had broken his foot in multiple places.
Javier Bernal confirmed he underwent surgery for his foot injury and has been on the road to recovery ever since. Javier Bernal took to Twitter today and provided a detailed update on his injury recovery progress. In the first photo, he showed the state of his broken foot, showing off just how badly it swelled up.
”Picture 1: Day of the incident, as you can see, I got a big ole tennis ball on my foot! ~June 7th!”
Javier Bernal then provided a photo of his foot one week after surgery, revealing that he has an external pin in his foot that will end up being removed in three weeks.
”Picture 2: Approximately a week after my surgery (~June 27th). I have an external pin that will end up being removed (yes I will be awake) in about 3 weeks.”
The NXT Superstar then revealed that he is now wearing a cast and no longer a splint and noted that he will keep it on until he is ready to remove the pin from his foot and eventually wearing a boot instead.
”Picture 3: I have graduated from splint to cast (today)! I keep this on until we’re ready to move on to pin removal and (hopefully) walking in a boot! (Mind the ankle weight, I’m still trying to get big)”
We have also reported how long he will be out of action after surgery. Regardless, fans are eagerly anticipating Javier Bernal’s return to NXT television and are hopeful to see him back in action as soon as possible, doing what he loves most.
