Neville had one of the most unfortunate injuries in recent memory. It really was just bad luck, but it couldn’t have happened at a worse time with Wrestlemania only a few weeks away.
Luke Harper’s was even closer to the biggest show of the year, but Neville had a spot in the seven-man ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship. It’s unfortunate that the “Breakout Star of the Year” will watch on the sidelines rather than get to experience performing at Wrestlemania for the first time.
Recently, Neville did an interview with IGN.com to help promote Wrestlemania and provide his opinion on the show as well as the latest update on his ankle.
You can read the full interview right here. Below is the latest update on his injury from Neville himself:
“So, I’ve broken my ankle in two spots. Fortunately, it was a relatively clean break so it’s remained in position. The bone has remained in position. I don’t require surgery. I will have to rest it though. It’s a broken ankle. I can’t put any weight on it. That’s gonna be the case still for a few weeks to come. I’ve started trying out a little bit of rehab. I have a light bit of mobility, but it’s very difficult. My ankle is damaged and it’s just a game of patience. It’s not something I’m used to. I’m generally a very active person and this is the first injury that’s had me out for a long extended period. So, you know, I’m just not used to sitting around.”
Do you think Neville will win a midcard championship by the end of the year?
