When confirming his injury, Lefleur stated that he would be out of action for about six months; that is in line with a typical recovery from surgery to repair a torn labrum, though that doesn’t factor into the other ligaments Lefleur injured. Should he return during that timeframe, that would mean Lefleur would be back in the ring around October. It would represent the longest absence he’s had in the ring during his wrestling career, with his previous hiatus’s during his indie career lasting only two to three months.

In the meantime, “NXT” will look to move forward without Lafleur by crowning a new Men’s Speed Champion via a tournament. That tournament will kick off during tonight’s episode of “NXT,” which will also focus on the fall out of Stand & Deliver this past weekend.
