Arianna Grace recently returned to NXT after suffering a very serious knee injury.
WWE NXT Superstar Arianna Grace was a recent guest on Wilde On. When asked about suffering her knee injury, Grace revealed it happened in a freak accident during a lock-up at the Performance Center.
“I definitely remember that day very clearly,” Arianna Grace began. “We were in training, and it was funny. It was just like another practice match at the PC, and it was off of a lock-up. It was just a lock-up. I went forward, the girl turned, and it was just like two different momentum, and it snapped.
“I felt like a big pop, but it didn’t hurt. So then I tried to get up, and I was like, damn, I can’t finish this match. I was so embarrassed because, at the time, I didn’t think it would be as serious as it was. And I was like, everyone’s gonna think I’m a chicken. I should have finished the match.”
Grace recalled hoping the injury was at least a sprain so people in the Performance Center wouldn’t think she was a wuss. The news she got was much worse than she anticipated.
“It is ironic looking back now, I’m like, at least let it be like a little bit sprained at least so no one thinks I’m a wuss,” Arianna Grace continued. “Then I got the call, and it was like torn ACL, torn meniscus, sprained MCL, and oh my god. Yeah, we did the thing. We really did it. So yeah, after that, like, I mean, what can you do? Like you really only have one option. It’s literally surgery, rehab, and move on. So I just had to do what I had to do.”
