Bernal is currently engaged to fellow "NXT" star Tatum Paxley who has had a lot of exposure as of late, even making an appearance on "TNA Impact" due to WWE's partnership with the promotion. Naturally, the star thanked Paxley in a recent social media post, wherein he confirmed that his surgery was successful. "Surgery was a success, my foot is still there! First ever surgery in the books," Bernal posted. He also thanked the WWE medical team for setting him up with top of the line doctors. "Thankful for @tatumpaxley_wwe, because I couldn't get through this weekend without her. Every step of the way, she has taken care of me and won't let me do anything. She is the love of my life, and it's obvious as to why I see her as wife material."
