WWE’s Elton Prince Undergoes Two-Level Neck Fusion After May In-Ring Injury

The Pretty Deadly member says he is focusing on recovery with support from WWE medical staff.

Overview

  • Prince disclosed the surgery in an Instagram post on Jan. 9, describing the two-level neck fusion as successful.
  • He said a May landing drove the top of his head into the mat, sent burning electricity through his neck and arms, and briefly cost him control of his hands.
  • He detailed seven months of tests and credited WWE medical staff, Dr. Kanter, Gina, and the Hoag team for identifying the issue.
  • WWE has presented partner Kit Wilson as a singles wrestler on SmackDown, including a loss to returning Matt Cardona.
  • Pretty Deadly last teamed on the May 2 SmackDown in a loss to Axiom and Nathan Frazer, and no timetable for Prince’s return has been given.
