AEW performer breaks silence after unfortunate injury; Mercedes Mone sends a two-word message

Mercedes Mone recently sent a two-word message to AEW performer Eli Hijo Del Vikingo. The latter was injured at a PROGRESS Wrestling event on Sunday.

Vikingo made his UK in-ring debut this past weekend against Kid Lykos II in the opening match at the PROGRESS Wrestling Chapter 175 event. The bout was going well until a botched sunset flip led to the former AAA Mega Champion sustaining an injury. The referee, who threw up an X sign, immediately stopped the game. The injured wrestler was checked out by the medical team and taken to the backstage area.

Hours after the unfortunate incident, The Mexican wrestler logged onto his official Instagram account to address his injury. He shared a clip of the match, highlighting the exact moment he sustained the injury.

"God knows why he puts these tests on me, I have faith that it will be a few weeks, thank you very much to all the fans in London for such a wonderful welcome 🙏 🙏" he wrote.

Mercedes Mone reacted to The Luchador's post on Instagram with a two-word message and prayers for his quick recovery.

Check out a screenshot of The CEO's comment on Vikingo's Instagram post.
