Bandido is going to be out of action for longer than expected.
The 28-year-old suffered a triangular fibrocartilage complex injury (bones that connect the forearm to the wrist) in June during a match with Konosuke Takeshita. It is believed he had surgery to repair the injury in early July and had been on track to return in December. He was booked for a show with the Riot promotion in Mexico on December 9.
Our own Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez addressed Bandido's status on today's Wrestling Observer Radio, noting that his arm did not heal properly from his first surgery, requiring him to have another.
"Bad news for Bandido, by the way," Meltzer said. "Another surgery on the wrist. It didn't heal properly."
"That's not good," Alvarez said.
"No, it's not good at all," Meltzer continued. "It's really too bad because he was literally ready to come right back and the bone didn't heal well, which is really sad. The guy's got so much charisma."
