Vikingo was facing Lykos II at Progress Chapter 175: Unboxing VII at the Electric Ballroom in London.

Vikingo vs Lykos II was stopped early due to an unfortunate injury to Vikingo.
He will get checked over by our medical team, and we hope for a speedy recovery, and a return to a PROGRESS ring in the future.#Unboxing7

Fans in attendance posted on social media that Vikingo took an awkward landing from a Code Red attempt. The referee signaled the “X” to indicate to the back that an apparent legitimate injury had occurred.
The match was called off and Vikingo was helped to the back.
His opponent later posted:
El Hijo Del Vikingo is one of the best wrestlers in the world and it was an honour to share the ring with him today.
The way things ended was of course the biggest possible shame and I have nothing but hope that we’re able to wrestle again soon when he’s back to 100% https://t.co/4rzWncBlkY

Ian Hamilton of backbodydrop.com later reported that Vikingo was able to work the merchandise tables during the show’s intermission.
On Sunday evening, Vikingo posted an update to Instagram. Translated from Spanish, he commented: “God knows why he puts these tests on me, I have faith that it will be a few weeks, thank you very much to all the fans in London for such a wonderful welcome”.
