Positive Injury Update On NXT Star, Back Sooner Than Expected

It could be a worse situation. Injuries are one of the worst things that you can see in wrestling as you never know how long someone is going to be out of action. Someone can get hurt in the middle of a match and go on the shelf for a very long time as a result. One of the hardest parts of an injury is wondering just how bad things are, and now we know a bit more about what has happened.

This week on NXT, Tony D’Angelo was injured during a match, resulting in the referee calling a stoppage and awarding the match to Wes Lee. Commentary suggested that D’Angelo had suffered a knee injury but no more details were given. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, D’Angelo will NOT need surgery and while he is hurt, he will be back “sooner than you would think”.

Opinion: That is rather good to hear as you would never want to see someone go on the shelf for any length of time, let alone due to requiring surgery. D’Angelo is a promising prospect and I’m interested in seeing where he goes from here. It seems that he won’t be out of action long, despite how bad things seemed during the match. Hopefully he gets back very soon and gets to show what he can do.
