As previously reported by PWMania.com, Elio LeFleur sustained an injury during a match at an NXT live event earlier this month and was seen with his arm in a sling after the show.
In a backstage segment on last night’s episode of WWE NXT, which also featured Sean Legacy along with Hank Walker and Tank Ledger (collectively known as Hank & Tank), Legacy mentioned that he would recover from his ankle injury in a few weeks.
LeFleur then revealed he has a tear in his shoulder and will be sidelined for 6 months. He also announced that he would have to relinquish the Speed Championship, with a tournament set to begin next week on WWE NXT to crown a new champion.
LeFleur won the title on the February 24th episode of WWE NXT and held it for 35 days, during which he did not defend it.
