Roman Reigns Out How Long? Comments After Surgery, NXT Stars Called Up Soon?

-Scott Stanford informed viewers of the WWE Network in a “breaking news” update that Roman Reigns’ surgery was a success and Reigns is currently in recovery. Stanford noted Reigns will remain overnight in the hospital in Nashville, TN and has been pulled from Sunday’s Night of Champions pay-per-view event.

Christopher Amann was on the phone during the segment and noted that “fortunately, everything seems to be doing fine.” He said Reigns was resting comfortably.

Stanford asked what caused the hernia. Dr. Amann said that it wasn’t something that happened in the ring but something that Reigns had been dealing with. This morning Reigns woke with bad abdominal pain that was getting worse, so he reached out to the WWE medical staff. Reigns was told to go to the hospital and was informed he had an incarcerated hernia, which means a loop of intestine had wrapped around it.

Reigns will be out of the ring at least 4-6 weeks but could possibly as long as three months. Amann said that Reign’s physical fitness won’t help him in recovering from a hernia operation. He said the big thing is letting the tissue and muscle heal before he’s allowed to do anything physical. He said they won’t let Reigns return until he’s completely cleared.

- Roman Reigns tweeted the following this morning:

"Thank you everyone for your kind words, support and prayers!! I'm hurting right now but it's great to know good people have my back!!"

- There are indications within WWE that some of the top NXT stars like Hideo Itami, Fergal Devitt and Kevin Steen may be brought up to the main roster sooner than later. It was said that it's just a matter of time before we see Sami Zayn and NXT Champion Adrian Neville on the main roster regularly.
