A WWE star has admitted that they “couldn’t breathe” after sustaining a recent injury on Monday Night Raw.
On the June 24 edition of WWE Raw, Imperium’s Ludwig Kaiser suffered a broken rib during his match with Bron Breakker.
Kaiser has not been seen on WWE TV since suffering the injury, and recently spoke to Metro discussing his recovery and the injury itself.
The German star revealed that the incident that caused the injury happened in the opening minutes of contest, meaning he competed for almost 10 minutes afterwards despite having serious difficulty breathing and moving immediately after he got hurt.
Kaiser said:
“It was one of the rougher weekends, it was a dark (match) on Friday on SmackDown, the next two days I did live matches and then the Raw match.
“I was a little banged up before, I had a little bit of a problem with my rib before. And yeah, very, very early in the match – actually, I think like the first minute or the second, I landed, and I felt right away that my rib was broken. And [I] couldn’t breathe anymore really, couldn’t really move anymore. And yeah, that was the situation.”
Despite the setback, Kaiser admitted that he was proud to have finished the match, also sharing an update on his recovery.
Kaiser continued:
“With everything in life, if you’ve been put in a bad situation, you make the best out of it. And that’s what we did, we managed it all well, it was all fine, but obviously I wanna be there, I want to wrestle and perform.
“It’s really just an annoying injury, but I’m blessed when it comes to genetics and recovery, I’m recovering great, and I’ll be back in no time. But obviously the person that I am, I want to be there every week.”
As of now there is no word on when Kaiser will be fit enough to return to a WWE ring, however, Metro noted that he hoped to be back in time for Bash in Berlin in his native Germany on August 31.
