During an interview, Angel Garza confirmed he's injured and gave some updates on it.
āMy injury did not come from [the Spanish Fly]ā¦An injury from the Spanish Fly could have been worse. Thank goodness that the injury came later and not from the Spanish Fly. In the Spanish Fly, I landed on my neck. I was not standing fully right on the ropes and Montez Ford launched himself when I was still not fully planted on the rope. It was a matter of moments that my mind went like, āSpinā and thatās the result that you saw [at Clash of Champions].ā
āUnfortunately, the injury came afterwards. Montez went for a kick and I grabbed the kick. When I lowered it, I went for the knee, but I put in a little too much force into it. I thought when I was going to do it, [Ford] was a little too far from where I was and I didnāt measure myself properly. When I tried to stretch my leg towards him, the other leg that was supporting it couldnāt handle it and was stretched out too much. Thatās when I heard a small pop, like a balloon exploding. Everything around that area started to get really hot and when I tried to move the leg, I had that tension close to my groin and it was my quadriceps, almost reaching my hip. Thatās what I felt. The referee came to me and asked if I can continue and I said no. I remember giving Andrade the tag and he asked me whatās wrong and I tell him that I canāt go anymore. WWE has a system thatās really effective where they have all the doctors and medical personnel watching the matches on monitors and they quickly go to the ring to see whatās going on. I told them what I was feeling. The medical team sent me away to get it checked. I was asked if I could walk and I said yes, but couldnāt put any force down there.ā
āThey told me to get an MRI and I got the results and thankfully, it wasnāt anything involving the tendons or with my hip as some outlets have reported. It was a quad tear and we already began treatment. Iāve been putting ice on it and bandages for the tear. Right now, I just came from an evaluation and we have been advancing through it incredibly. Thank God I just started to feel good. I still have more evaluations to do, but if all goes well, I think I might be out from a week to maybe 15 days. Thank God that it wasnāt anything long-term like five or six months. They told me if I had continued, I could have completely torn [the quad] and would have been out for a very long time. I donāt think it will even be a month to fully recover⦠Iām not going to be needing surgery, Iāll probably be only out for a week to three weeks since the injury.ā
