WWE Rumor Roundup - Undertaker's possible return despite retirement, Faction teased to return after 3-year absence and more - 21st June 2020

#3. Elias could reportedly be out of action until WrestleMania 37

Elias was written off TV with a hit and run segment a few weeks ago on WWE SmackDown, and it was later revealed that the Drifter had actually suffered a real injury that compelled WWE to include him in the angle.

Elias tore his pectoral muscle, and he had to undergo surgery to get it fixed. Sean Ross Sapp revealed on the latest edition of the Backstage Report podcast that Elias may not be back in action until WrestleMania 37, which is scheduled to happen at the end of March next year.

SRS noted the following on the Backstage Report Podcast on Fightful Select:

"Elias got ran over by that car in a segment a couple of weeks ago, but he's got a torn pectoral and may not be back till WrestleMania 37. Heal up soon."

Torn pectoral muscle injuries have an estimated recovery time of six to nine months, and Elias' in-ring return depends on the progress he makes during his rehabilitation period.

Elias has had a few injury setbacks over the past year, and his latest injury is, unfortunately, a serious one that will keep him away from the WWE ring for the rest of the year.
