El Hijo del Vikingo Eyes September Return After Knee Surgery

One big thing: El Hijo del Vikingo targets September 27 comeback

Former AAA Mega Champion and AEW star El Hijo del Vikingo is aiming for a September 27 return to the ring following knee surgery, according to Dave Meltzer’s report in F4WOnline’s Daily Update.

The details:

• Vikingo underwent surgery on February 29 for a torn ligament and damaged meniscus in his right knee.
• The injury occurred during a match for AULL on February 17.
• Vikingo had to vacate the AAA Mega Championship, ending his record-breaking 833-day reign.

Why it matters:

Vikingo’s return could shake up the wrestling landscape, given his high-profile status in AAA, AEW, and ROH. His unique high-flying style and recent record-breaking title reign make him a valuable asset to any promotion he works with.

By the numbers:

• 833 days: Length of Vikingo’s AAA Mega Championship reign before injury
• 7 months: Approximate time between injury and targeted return date

What’s next:

While Vikingo’s first match back isn’t confirmed, he’s scheduled for a GLEAT show on October 6, teaming with Soma Watanabe against CIMA and AEW’s new signee, Ricochet.
