WWE Star Suffers Laryngeal Contusion Injury

WWE

WWE has shared an update on a NXT star, stating that he suffered a laryngeal contusion injury.

Fans showed concern for Ricky Saints following his North American Championship match on the May 27 NXT episode, after Saints took a Twisted Grin from Ethan Page throat-first onto the crossbar of a steel chair.

WWE provided an update on Saints during the June 3 episode, with Vic Joseph announcing that Saints had suffered a laryngeal contusion injury.

Joseph specifically said:

“He’s been diagnosed with a laryngeal contusion which is acute trauma to the larynx”

An image from Saints’ CT scan was shown – which you can view below – showing Saint’s larynx (voice box) next to an image of a normal larynx.

No timetable was given for Saints’ WWE return.

It was recently reported that Saints was one of the stars expected to be receiving a main roster call up soon, along with Jordynne Grace and Stephanie Vaquer.

Vaquer officially joined the Raw roster following this report, going on to win a Money in the Bank qualifier on the June 2 episode.

Grace is still with NXT at the time of writing, notably confronting NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne with several other stars on the June 3 NXT episode.

We will continue to provide updates on Saint’s status as they become available, and wish Saints a safe and healthy recovery.
