Elio LeFleur is going to be out for a while.
Tonight’s episode of NXT featured a backstage segment with Hank Walker, Tank Ledger, Eli Knight, Sean Legacy, and the Men’s Speed Champion LeFleur all sitting around chatting.
Legacy first gave an update on his ankle injury, confirming that he will not have to stay out of action for long and he’ll be good to go in a few weeks.
The masked star then revealed that he was not so lucky. Elio LeFleur announced that he will require shoulder surgery that will keep him out of action for six months.
As a result, Elio confirmed that he will have to relinquish the Men’s Speed Title. The French star also noted that the NXT GM Robert Stone has told him that a tournament to crown the new champion will begin next week.
