Alex Shelley, the reigning Impact Wrestling World Champion, has been absent from the wrestling scene since the Impact UK Invasion show that took place back on October 26.
Shelley was pulled from the rest of the tour due to a severe calf muscle strain. Prestige Wrestling also announced on Thursday that Shelley had not received medical clearance to compete at their Prestige Alive event on November 12.
Shelley took to social media to issue the following statement on his injury:
It’s not much – I let @IMPACTWRESTLING handle big things. I just wanted to apologize to @GCWrestling_ and @PWRevolver fans for being advertised and having to cancel. I love both companies dearly and their fan bases, and if I could wrestle, I would.
