World Wrestling Entertainment star Javier Bernal plans to be out of the ring for six months after undergoing a successful foot surgery performed by Norman Waldrop, MD, according to a June 21 report from Wrestle Zone.

Mr. Bernal suffered a broken foot at the NXT Level Up taping on June 4, and spent the month deciding whether or not to undergo an operation. 

In a series of tweets, Mr. Bernal thanked the WWE and his medical team, including Dr. Waldrop and the staff at Birmingham, Ala.-based Andrews Sports Medicine. 

It was the WWE star's first-ever orthopedic surgery, according to the report.
