Octagón Jr. is recovering after undergoing surgery following a frightening injury at AAA Noche de los Grandes.
The AAA star confirmed the update on Instagram, where he posted a photo of himself in a hospital bed. He thanked WWE, AAA, fans, friends, wrestlers, staff, doctors, and his family for supporting him during what he called a difficult moment in his life.

He also thanked his family for standing by him. Octagón Jr. gave emotional credit to his wife, saying she quickly flew out to be with him once she realized how serious the situation had become.
The injury happened during a Fatal 5-Way match taped for AAA Noche de los Grandes. Octagón Jr. landed badly after taking a DDT from the highest point of the top rope with Joaquin Wilde.
