You never know what will happen in the pro wrestling world, especially when injuries are a part of the story. El Hijo Del Vikingo is injured, and he’s having to pull out of dates. That being said, he won’t be on the shelf for long.

Tony Khan has a lot of possibilities with someone who has the talent that El Hijo Del Vikingo has. He must wait for the luchador to return from injury first, and in the meantime he is clearing his schedule because he is unable to compete.

Progress tweeted out to let everyone know that, although El Hijo Del Vikingo is cancelling their upcoming event, they are making attempts to get him booked for a later card. The good news is that they are possibly getting him back before the end of the year.

“El Hijo Del Vikingo injury update: Despite recovering he will not be ready to compete to the high level he would want for a European debut. We are working on a new date with Vikingo and hope to see him very soon in a PROGRESS ring, hopefully before year end.”

The fact that Progress said that they hope to get him back by the end of the year is a good sign. Hopefully, that means Vikingo will be back on AEW television soon enough.

On February 17, 2024, Vikingo teamed with Psycho Clown and Wotan at AULL Rencor Extremo. They lost to Negocio Traumado after Vikingo injured his right knee, forcing the match to stop.

Vikingo underwent surgery and was cleared to return to the ring in September. Vikingo injured his knee during a match with Trent Seven at TNA’s television tapings on October 27. On October 31, he stated there was no significant ligament damage and planned to return to the ring in 20 days.

He has wrestled in AEW several times in recent years, including a standout match against Kenny Omega. We will have to see what he is able to do next, but this is certainly not the end of his story.
