Every time a professional wrestler steps into the ring they put their body on the line and there are unfortunately a number of WWE stars who are currently out of action due to injury.
Elton Prince has been on the shelf for some time now and he shared a recent Instagram post announced that he underwent a successful 2 level neck fusion surgery earlier this week. Prince noted that he took a bad landing in the ring back in May and he lost control of his hands and fingers for a moment after his head landed on the mat.
The SmackDown star thanked everyone for their support when he posted the following on Instagram:
“Back in May I took a bad landing in the ring, the top of my head hit the mat and what felt like burning hot electricity exploded through my neck and my arms, I lost control of my hands as all my fingers curled in and were stuck for a moment. It was pretty terrifying and what followed has been 7 months of tests, questions and well pain. But thanks to the efforts of the WWE medical staff and Dr Kanter, Gina and the Hoag team we found the problem and yesterday I successfully underwent a 2 level neck fusion. Not exactly where I hoped to be at 28 but we are owed nothing in this life and I am just grateful to be on the road to recovery. I want to thank everybody who has messaged or commented to ask how and where I am its been nice to not feel forgotten and I will try my hardest to overcome all the obstacles and get back in the ring for you.
But my focus right now is just getting healthy and reclaiming the basics like being able to be the best dad I can be for my daughter as @kellykincaid_wwe is long overdue a good nights sleep! I Can’t thank her enough for the support and help during all this and while im recovering im excited to watch my brother @kitwilson_pd crush everything he does and get a well deserved spotlight shone on him ⭐️”
Due to Elton Prince being out of action WWE had to come up with new creative for Kit Wilson, and you can get more details on what’s planned for Wilson here.
