An injured wrestler under the WWE umbrella has finally been stripped of his championship amid his absence. El Hijo Del Vikingo is no longer the AAA Latin American Champion
The Mexican star's future was hanging in the balance since he injured his left knee while 'going over' his scheduled match against EK Prosper on the June 30, 2026, episode of NXT.
He was last seen in action on the SmackDown after Night of Champions, where he unsuccessfully challenged Rey Fenix for the AAA World Cruiserweight Championship.
In his last appearance, he was shown being laid out by Keanu Carver in a backstage attack. The angle was done to write him off television and pull him from the match.
El Hijo Del Vikingo then took to his social media to share a photo of himself, in which he was seen sporting a knee brace and using crutches. He underwent knee surgery earlier this week, which will keep him on the sidelines for six to eight months.
During the latest episode of Lucha Libre AAA tonight, El Hijo Del Vikingo's fellow El Ojo stablemates Omos and Dorian Roldan came out with the AAA Latin American Championship.
An irate Omos shoved the belt at Rey Mysterio, following which he announced that the gold was officially vacated.

This abruptly ended El Hijo Del Vikingo's reign at 42 days.
