Injuries occurring in WWE has been a bit of a hot topic over recent weeks with the likes of

Jeff Hardy

, Sheamus and

Big E

all suffering knocks.

The latest injury setback has happened to an NXT star on the rise, as Dominik Dijakovic has revealed that he underwent knee surgery in Orlando, Florida recently and will be out of action as he rehabs a torn meniscus.

The 32-year-old made the announcement on Twitter, saying: "Yesterday morning my knee was surgically repaired in Orlando, Florida.

"Now I know that many of you, you’d consider this a burden or a setback, but not me. No, I consider this a gift. I’m happy that I had a tear in my meniscus. Because this represents sacrifice, this represents discipline.

"I had to rip away the weakness to rebuild it to be stronger than ever using my blood. My blood. And when I was through, the only ones waiting for me were my family. The only ones ever waiting for me are my family. They will drive me - they will drive me to return stronger than ever and regain what is rightfully ours. That’s the North American championship.”

Dijakovic did look like he was on the brink of starting a big feud with Velveteen Dream before the injury occurred.
