It was not stated either whether the injury is a minor one that was just sustained during his daily gym session, or it was a past injury that is giving a pain to him. Here’s the official statement from the company.
WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon sustained an injury while training, requiring surgery, WWE.com has learned. The Chairman will be back in the office at WWE Headquarters on Wednesday, as usual.
As seen above the injury might be a minor one since Vince McMahon is supposed to join the WWE headquarters as per his routine schedule. However, it is speculated that the injury might be used for storyline purpose since WWE published this as breaking news on the website.
The Twitterverse was all over the news and started trolling Vince McMahon once the news was out on Twitter.

@WWE @VinceMcMahon He needs to remember he’s 71 years old. He should be at the retirement home with his pipe and slippers, not at the gym
