The bout ended abruptly after Ivar suffered a legitimate cervical injury during the match. The popular tag team star underwent surgery the following week and was forced out of action for several months.

Earlier today, Ivar posted multiple pictures of himself from the time he had gotten injured. In the caption, the 42-year-old WWE Superstar shared details about the damage he sustained. He noted that two discs exploded into his spinal cord, resulting in temporary paralysis. Ivar added that he was fortunate and grateful to have recovered from the brutal injury.

“6 years ago today 2 discs basically exploded into my spinal cord suffering temporary paralysis and resulting in a 2 level spinal fusion of c5 and c6 and c6 and c7. Fortunate and grateful for every day i have in and out of the ring,” Ivar wrote.

In addition to their appearances on WWE SmackDown, Ivar and his tag team partner Erik have become an integral part of AAA’s tag team division. On Noche de Los Grandes: Week 1, The War Raiders defeated Pagano and Psycho Clown to become the new AAA World Tag Team Champions. They recently defended the title against Los Americanos.

A popular WWE tag team is set to challenge The War Raiders for the AAA World Tag Team Championship

On the July 31 edition of Friday Night SmackDown The War Raiders locked horns with the then WWE Tag Team Champions Damian Priest and R-Truth in a Winner Takes All title match. Unfortunately, the bout ended in a no contest after The MFTs attacked both the teams.

On August 14, Tama Tonga and Talla Tonga went one step forward and defeated The War Raiders and the team of Damian Priest and R-Truth in a three-way contest to win the WWE Tag Team Championship.

On their return to Friday Night SmackDown later this week, The War Raiders will defend the AAA World Tag Team Championship against Damian Priest and R-Truth.

The War Raiders have also issued an open challenge for their AAA World Tag Team Championship for Triplemania 34. They are scheduled to defend the title on Night Two of the event on September 13.
