Several current and former WWE personalities, including Edge, Adam Pearce, and Bronson Reed, recently reacted after a popular RAW star shared his heartbreaking story amid his absence from television. The name in question is The Viking Raiders' Ivar.

The 40-year-old star last competed inside the squared circle on the April 30, 2024, episode of NXT, where he locked horns with Oba Femi for the North American Championship. Following this match, Ivar went on hiatus due to a neck injury and has recently undergone stem cell treatment for his recovery.

Ivar also mentioned that he was grateful to be able to return from that injury and assured fans that he would soon return from his current setback.
