When asked about his quality of life following his latest neck injury, Ivar noted that he's been feeling pretty good overall. However, he does carry forth permanent nerve damage and pain in his hands.

"As far as everything else, I got most of my mobility back in my neck. It's a little stiff now because I have another herniation, but I still have very good range of motion," Ivar said. "I credit that to yoga pretty much. Then all my strength is returned to my arm. I have no problems there, so it's really just the nerve pain right now from the original injury that I have that's permanent. But I have good days and bad days. Some days I can really feel it. It goes down my arm a little bit, and some days I can't feel it all, kind of all depends."

Ivar, alongside his tag partner Erik, returned to the ring in October, defeating Alpha Academy's Otis and Akira Tozawa to advance in a WWE World Tag Team Championship tournament. The War Raiders eventually won the entire tournament and subsequently challenged Finn Balor and JD McDonagh for the very titles. An interference from The Judgment Day prevented a War Raiders victory in this instance, but earlier this week, the pair bounced back, claiming their first WWE tag title reign in five years.
