A WWE Superstar recently shared a heartwarming update on social media amid his absence from the Stamford-based company due to a neck injury. The name in question is Erik of The Viking Raiders.
The 39-year-old superstar's last appearance on WWE Television was on the September 4, 2023, episode of RAW. The Viking Raiders faced the team of Drew McIntyre and Matt Riddle and secured the win after a highly entertaining bout. The former Women's Taga Team Champion suffered a neck injury that has kept him out of action for so long.
Erik recently took to Instagram to share a heartwarming update with his followers. The former NXT Tag Team Champion posted an outdoor picture with his family consisting of himself, his wife, his son, and a pet dog:
