Elton Prince, the British star one half of the WWE tag team Pretty Deadly, revealed in a post on Instagram that he just underwent successful two-level neck fusion.
The injury stems from a bad landing during a match back in May 2025, where Prince explained that after the rough landing, he felt a burning hot electricity exploding through his neck and arms, losing control of his hands and all his fingers curling in.
“It was pretty terrifying and what followed has been 7 months of tests, questions and well pain,” Prince wrote. “But thanks to the efforts of the WWE medical staff and Dr Kanter, Gina and the Hoag team, we found the problem and yesterday I successfully underwent a 2 level neck fusion.”
Prince wrote that it is not exactly where he hoped he would be at just 28 years of age but we are owned nothing in life and he’s just grateful to be on the road to recovery.
He said that while he intends to work hard to get back in the ring, his focus now is just to get healthy and be the best dad he can be for his daughter. He also thanked his wife, NXT announcer Kelly Kincaid for her support.
He also mentioned his tag team partner Kit Wilson in the closing of his post.
“I’m excited to watch my brother [Kit Wilson] crush everything he does and get a well deserved spotlight shone on him,” he concluded.
