El Hijo del Vikingo has been stuck on the sidelines for months, but his latest update makes it pretty clear he’s not sitting around waiting for his knee to magically fix itself. The AAA star is putting in some serious work behind the scenes, and he sounds increasingly confident that the finish line is getting closer.
Vikingo took to Instagram and shared a video showing just how intense his knee rehabilitation has become. The footage showed him going through several physical therapy exercises as he continues working his way back from his ACL injury and subsequent surgeries.
The session included weighted hip bridges, cycling, lunges combined with stretching and resistance-band walks. Vikingo was shown putting the knee through plenty of work throughout the video, giving fans a much better look at where he currently stands in the recovery process. His caption was even more encouraging. Vikingo kept things short but made it clear he feels like his return is getting closer: “There is less and less time to go.”
That’s a pretty positive development considering Vikingo underwent his second knee operation just last month. On October 6, he posted photos from his hospital bed and confirmed that the procedure had gone exactly as hoped.
“God is with me I can’t lose, thanks for your support the operation was successful 🙏🙏🙏”
The second surgery came during Vikingo’s ongoing recovery from the torn ACL that has kept him out of action for months. He never revealed exactly why another procedure was necessary, leaving some uncertainty about whether it would push back the return timetable he had previously discussed.
Before undergoing that operation, Vikingo had estimated that he was roughly seven months away from wrestling again. There still hasn’t been an updated return date following the second surgery, so his latest message shouldn’t necessarily be taken as confirmation that he’ll be back sooner than expected.
Still, going from another knee operation in October to grinding through a demanding rehab session in November is certainly an encouraging sight. Vikingo isn’t putting an exact date on his comeback just yet, but “less and less time to go” sounds like someone who can finally see some light at the end of a very long recovery.
