wXw has announced that top European wrestling star Mike D. Vecchio has officially vacated the wXw European Championship due to a persistent knee injury he has been battling since August of last year.
This major development comes on the heels of reports indicating that Vecchio is in advanced talks to sign with WWE, with a projected start date set for September.
Here is the full announcement (via Google Translate):
“@MikeDvecchio has informed us that he unfortunately has to take another extended break due to a persistent knee injury that has been flaring up and down since last August. Mike had already taken a break for some time during the winter. Since Mike has to cancel all his wXw dates until the end of July and would now have a second break of several months without title defenses during his European Championship Reign, we unfortunately see no other option than to vacate the wXw European Championship. We wish Mike D. Vecchio a full recovery during his break. We will select a second wrestler who will compete in the wXw European Championship on Friday at #wXwFAN 2025. @MarkthalleHH on @Metehan1Baba to rematch the wXw European Championship.”
