Professional wrestling isn’t for the week as injuries unfortunately happen from time to time. No one knows that better than Ivar as he suffered a significant injury back in 2020 after he did a dive to the outside during a match on Raw.
When Ivar dove to the outside his head got pushed back as he landed on members of The Hurt Business and he was temporarily paralyzed. He later underwent surgery to repair a neck injury.
During a recent appearance on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Ivar talked about how he’s adjusted his in-ring style since the injury and noted that he has removed the dive from arsenal.
“I’ve had to rethink about how I work in the ring. It’s natural to know how to edit things, and to make it seem like I’m not editing things. I’m still giving the crowd what they want to see without doing the suicide dive. That’s the only move I’ve cut from everything, ’cause that’s what caused the initial neck injury.”
Ivar unfortunately suffered another injury earlier this year which sidelined him for a few months, but The War Raiders made their return to WWE TV back in October. Things seem to be going well for The War Raiders at the moment as they’re the current WWE World Tag Team Champions.
