WWE Star Sends Heartfelt Message To Tag Team Partner Following Neck Surgery

WWE

A WWE star has sent a heartfelt message to their tag team partner after they announced they recently underwent neck surgery.

Kit Wilson has been appearing as a singles competitor on SmackDown in recent months, with Elton Prince sidelined with an injury.

Earlier today, Elton Prince took to social media, where he revealed that he underwent neck surgery following an injury suffered back in May.

Taking to Twitter, Kit sent a heartfelt message to Elton following his neck surgery.

He wrote:

Elton is a very private person, so he would never fully tell people just how hard this journey has been for him. So I would like to share a little. The amount of pain, struggle, and hardship he’s pushed through just to get to the point of having this surgery has been nothing short of admirable.

He was injured in the middle of a match. While trying to figure out what was wrong, he took another move that cut him open badly. At the time, I didn’t know how serious it was, but I knew he was hurt. I was screaming at him to tag me in so he could get out and get medical help. Even then, he was determined to stay in the ring and finish the match – that’s just the kind of performer he is.

We became best friends and tag partners on the independents. We signed our contracts, moved across the world together, and grew up side by side – from single boys who love each other to family men (who maybe still love each other more than our girls). We always talked about being a tag team for life, no matter what. So for him to suffer a career-threatening injury was, and still is, devastating.

Everything I do now as a singles competitor is with the hope that one day we can be Pretty Deadly again. But that isn’t the priority. Right now, I’m just grateful that Elton has finally had his surgery and is on the road to recovery, so he can be the best partner and the best father he can be.

I could say so much more, but I’ll let Elton do that in his own time.

Love you, Lewis. x

We send Elton Prince all the best and a full and complete recovery from his injury.
