After initial information from Dave Meltzer in The Wrestling Observer Newsletter downplayed the severity of Ivar’s injury, conflicting reports from Fightful Select suggest that the situation may be more grave for the WWE wrestler. The concern heightened when Meltzer updated the status of Ivar’s injury to be more serious than originally thought. Pro Wrestling Insider drew attention to a tweet from Andrews Sports Medicine X featuring Ivar with Dr. Andrew Cordover, sparking speculation about a potential surgery. Dr. Cordover had previously conducted neck fusion surgery on Ivar in 2020 and on his tag team partner, Erik, in 2023.
Ivar, who recently hit the age of 40 and has been involved in wrestling since 2001, found success in Ring of Honor and WWE as part of the Viking Raiders tag team. Despite their achievements, the future of both Ivar and Erik in the world of professional wrestling is now cast in doubt due to their recent health struggles.
