– Samir Singh recently underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL he suffered during a ringside altercation with Bobby Roode. The incident occurred during Jinder Mahal and Roode’s United States Title Tournament Finals clash. There has been no official word on Singh’s return but the usual timetable for an ACL tear return is around 6-9 months. Singh recently took to Instagram to thank Dr. Jeffrey Dugas after undergoing surgery in Alabama:

"A big thank you to Dr. Jeff Dugas and the entire medical staff at St. Vincent’s in Birmingham, Alabama for taking care of me this week and getting me back on the road to recovery. Much love🙏🏼"
