A WWE NXT talent has shared a personal health update that could keep him out of action for the foreseeable future.
The announcement came directly from the superstar, offering insight into an issue that had been building behind the scenes.
Tyson Dupont revealed via social media (X) that he is set to undergo hip surgery after dealing with ongoing pain for several months.
Posting from a hospital bed, Dupont confirmed that the procedure was necessary after pushing through the injury since July 2025 — a stretch where he continued competing despite the discomfort.

In the video, Dupont explained that he made a conscious effort to stay active in the ring. He admitted he was determined not to miss opportunities. “Pushed through to the best I could,” he said. The WWE star noted that the timing of the surgery ultimately came down to necessity rather than choice. It’s a familiar story in wrestling — play through the pain until the body calls for a timeout.
Dupont remained optimistic about the situation, describing the surgery as a “minor setback for a major comeback.” He added that his focus remains on recovery and returning stronger. Dupont made it clear that this chapter is more pause than full stop.
The NXT talent last competed at a live event in late February. His absence could likely impact the High Ryze faction, where he teams with Tyriek Igwe, at least in the short term. While no official timeline for his return has been provided, undergoing surgery suggests a period on the sidelines.
Dupont’s update highlights the physical toll that comes with staying active, especially when injuries linger beneath the surface. For now, the priority shifts from in-ring performance to recovery — trading matches for medical clearance, at least temporarily.
