Sunil Singh, the former WWE performer also known as Gurv Sihra, has been medically cleared to return to action after suffering a collapsed lung more than two months ago. Singh announced the news on social media on November 3, 2026, revealing that his trauma doctor had officially cleared him from the pneumothorax injury.
The injury occurred on September 21, 2026, during a match at a Pure Power Wrestling event in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. Details of the specific sequence that led to the collapsed lung have not been disclosed, but the severity of the injury kept Singh sidelined for well over six weeks while he underwent evaluation and treatment.
Sharing the update with fans, Singh described receiving the all-clear as “a big thumbs up,” expressing relief after what had been an uncertain recovery period. The announcement closes out a stretch of more than two months in which Singh’s return timeline remained unclear following the frightening in-ring incident.
A pneumothorax, commonly known as a collapsed lung, occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall, causing the lung to partially or fully collapse. Such injuries can range from relatively minor to life-threatening depending on severity, and recovery often requires close monitoring by medical professionals before a patient is cleared for physical activity, let alone the rigors of professional wrestling.
Singh is best known to WWE audiences as one half of the Singh Brothers, a tag team that gained prominence as on-screen aides to Jinder Mahal during his run as WWE Champion. Since his WWE departure, Singh has continued to work the independent circuit, including his appearance for Pure Power Wrestling in Lethbridge where the injury occurred.
No word yet on when Singh will make his first in-ring appearance since being cleared, but the medical green light removes the primary obstacle that had kept him out of action since late September. Fans and promotions on the independent scene will now be watching for confirmation of his first scheduled match following the extended layoff.
