Peter Tihanyi Update 

We have learned some background details on Peter Tihanyi’s injury.

On February 13th, wXw announced that their Undisputed World Champion Peter Tihanyi would be forced to vacate his championship after undergoing an MRI on a shoulder injury he recently suffered.

Fightful Select’s Corey Brennan has learned from wXw sources that the injury turned out to be worse than the company had hoped prior to Peter’s MRI, but the situation remains a fluid one, as more tests will have to be done to establish next steps and a timetable for Tihanyi’s recovery. In asking further, we were able to rule out a torn rotator cuff as the shoulder injury he suffered.

We are told that vacating the title was described as a ‘last resort’ due to the injury being not as short term as initially hoped, and the decision was made to err on the side of caution. When asking about the creative surrounding the vacation, we were told that it is an ongoing process in the promotion.

As of this writing, there is no timetable for Tihanyi’s return, but those we spoke to remain hopeful it will not be a long time on the shelf for the wXw name.
