Dexter Lumis ruled out of action due to fracture sustained during brutal attack on WWE NXT

WWE NXT 2.0 Superstar Dexter Lumis has been ruled out of action for over a month in the aftermath of a recent brutal attack.

Earlier this month, North American Champion Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams teamed up to launch a vicious attack on Lumis. They used steel chairs to brutalize the latter and left him with a fractured arm. Additionally, he suffered from a few broken metacarpals in the attack.

Dexter Lumis' on-screen wife, Indi Hartwell, revealed the details mentioned above on NXT this week. She noted that taking Lumis can no longer draw comfortably, which is the most hurtful part for her.

As of this writing, it hasn't been confirmed if Dexter Lumis sustained a legitimate injury. However, Hartwell did say that he wouldn't be returning for more than a month.

The WWE creative team is using his absence to help Indi Hartwell's current run on NXT 2.0. She competed in a match alongside Persia Pirotta in a tag team match against Kayden Carter and Kacy Catanzaro.

Unfortunately, Pirotta and Hartwell lost the match because the latter was too distracted worrying about Lumis' injury. Persia Pirotta insisted that she should compete alone for the time being and she even defeated Gabby Stephens and Jenna Levy in a two-on-one handicap match recently.
