La Tijera Lucha Libre posted footage of the injury to YouTube:

Our own Dave Meltzer addressed Vikingo's injury the night it happened on Wrestling Observer Radio.

Meltzer said:

El Hijo del Vikingo injured his right knee in a match tonight, and it’s a meniscus injury as far as we know. I just got the word of a meniscus injury, that he might need surgery.

The knee was already bad. And he was probably going to need surgery at some point soon, and this may speed that up and he could be out for a pretty long length of time.
