Neville caught a tough break on Monday Night Raw this week. He faced off against Chris Jericho in a one on one match and fractured his ankle while attempting to do a baseball slide.
Unfortunately Neville is out of action, but the good news is that he won’t need surgery. WWE’s Dr. Chris Amann informed WWE.com that after further testing was done it was determined that surgery won’t be necessary. Amann had the following to say in regards to Neville’s recovery:
“Neville had some repeat testing done in Orlando today which included X-Rays and a cat scan of his ankle. Upon further review, it has been determined that surgical repair of the ankle would not be necessary. Instead, he will be treated nonoperatively with a cast and crutches. The estimated return for this type of fracture is usually 2 to 3 months.”
So there it is. Neville won’t be able to compete at his first WrestleMania this year, and he will unfortunately be out of action for the next 2 to 3 months. Neville has been putting on phenomenal matches as of late, and he’s received a lot of support from his peers and fans who are hoping to see him return as soon as possible. He took to Twitter last night and thanked everyone for their kind words.
