WATCH: Unseen footage of AEW performer stretchered out of arena at recent wrestling event

An AEW performer has been stretchered out of a recent wrestling event he was competing in after seemingly sustaining another injury. This would be El Hijo del Vikingo.

Earlier this month, the luchador made his return to the ring after seven months, as he had to recover from multiple injuries he was suffering from. Due to the severity of the injury, he had to relinquish his AAA Mega Championship, a title he held for 833 days.

Tonight, during the tapings in Detroit for the next episode of TNA, several sources reported that El Hijo Del Vikingo sustained a leg injury during his match against Trent Seven. It was mentioned that the bout was immediately called off, and he had to be stretchered out. Lucha Libre Online has also reported on the situation and even shared footage of him being brought to the back.

A rough translation by Google can be found below:

"We regret to report that El Hijo Del Vikingo suffered a leg injury at the TNA tapings from Detroit. He had to be carried on a stretcher to the dressing room. We wish you a speedy recovery."

When was El Hijo del Vikingo's last match in AEW?

Although he is not officially signed with AEW, just like several luchadors from AAA, he has made various appearances on the promotion.

He was often showcased as a long-time AAA Mega Champion, and his match against Kenny Omega for his title back in July of last year was highly rated.

In January this year, he appeared during the #1 Contendership Freshly Squeezed Four Way match to decide the next contender for Orange Cassidy's AEW International Championship. He faced off against Komander, Kip Sabian, and The Butcher.

There has yet to be information on the severity of Vikingo's injury, and we at Sportskeeda hope for a speedy recovery for him.
