In the bustling world of WWE NXT, where dreams are made and bones are broken, our very own rising star Javier Bernal has taken an unexpected detour onto the Injury Express. Yes, folks, Bernal has suffered a broken foot during the latest “NXT Level Up” tapings. This is one suplex Mother Nature didn’t see coming, but rest assured, Bernal is already planning his dramatic comeback. Because why take a day off when you can hobble on crutches with the same vigor?
Taking to Instagram, Bernal shared the news with all the grace of a wrestler delivering a heartfelt promo. “Day in and day out, I bust my ass to give you the best experience I can give within my power. As upset, frustrated, and as scared as I am right now, I am also excited. I’m excited because I have a chance to give you something, someone, to believe in. @WWE is all about giving you a hero, someone to look up to. I looked up to quite a few people, and quite a few of my heroes had these experiences. So now it’s my turn.”
Move over, Batman—there’s a new hero in town, and he’s ready to take on orthopedic surgery like a champ. Despite the setback, Bernal remains grateful for the overwhelming support from fans and family. “The outpouring of love I’ve received this week has filled my heart with joy in a time I find myself feeling in peril. You guys have gotten me through this week, and I’m certain will help me to my journey back.”
For now, the WWE universe will have to wait approximately six months for Bernal’s triumphant return. Of course, if the surgery doesn’t go ahead, he might bounce back sooner, but it seems the doctors have a game plan tighter than a headlock.
