WWE Digital has given an update on NXT star Dexter Lumis' ankle injury.

The severity of his ankle injury is worse than what was previously reported on last week's NXT Injury Report.

As noted in the injury report, Lumis suffered an ankle injury after defeating both Finn Balor and Timothy Thatcher for a North American Championship Match opportunity.

According to WWE's statement, his status for the North American Championship Ladder Match at TakeOver XXX is in question due to the injury.

The latest news on the situation will be shared tomorrow on WWE's The Bump.

Below is WWE's full statement:
