For the past two years now, I've been dealing with some neck injuries. At this point, I now have two herniated discs in my neck causing stingers down both arms. This issue started all the way back in 2023. That's what took me out from most of my college season. Earlier again this year coming back from my hand surgery, I herniated another disc in my neck. My injury earlier this year is ultimately what had me push off my wrestle off in case you guys were wondering," said Vito Arujau.Arujau further expressed about things he has tried to recover, adding:"At this point I've tried PT. I've tried taking extended periods of time off the mat and nothing's really worked for me, so, now I'm seeking out some medical intervention so that's what's led me out here to Monterey California and yeah, I'm getting surgery tomorrow. I'll be sure to try to document the whole thing and kinda keep you guys updated with what's going on with me."
