WWE SmackDown Star Undergoes Surgery
A WWE SmackDown star will be out of action for a significant amount of time.
Kit Wilson has become a solo act on WWE SmackDown recently due to his Pretty Deadly tag team partner, Elton Prince, suffering a serious injury.
Pretty Deadly’s Elton Prince has been injured since a May tag team match. After several months of treatment and trying to get back into the ring, it was determined that surgery was the best course of action to help Prince recover from a serious neck injury.
WWE’s Elton Prince Undergoes Neck Surgery
In a message on Instagram, Prince announced that he had neck fusion surgery on Thursday, January 8th.
“Back in May I took a bad landing in the ring, the top of my head hit the mat and what felt like burning hot electricity exploded through my neck and my arms, I lost control of my hands as all my fingers curled in and were stuck for a moment. It was pretty terrifying and what followed has been 7 months of tests, questions and well pain.
But thanks to the efforts of the WWE medical staff and Dr Kanter, Gina and the Hoag team we found the problem and yesterday I successfully underwent a 2 level neck fusion. Not exactly where I hoped to be at 28 but we are owed nothing in this life and I am just grateful to be on the road to recovery.
I want to thank everybody who has messaged or commented to ask how and where I am its been nice to not feel forgotten and I will try my hardest to overcome all the obstacles and get back in the ring for you.
But my focus right now is just getting healthy and reclaiming the basics like being able to be the best dad I can be for my daughter as @kellykincaid_wwe is long overdue a good nights sleep! I Can’t thank her enough for the support and help during all this and while im recovering im excited to watch my brother @kitwilson_pd crush everything he does and get a well deserved spotlight shone on him.”
The Kelly Kincaid that Prince mentioned is WWE NXT interviewer Kelly Kincaid, who Prince has a daughter with.
