Arianna Grace reflects on her injury.
In October 2022, Arianna Grace got injured while training at WWE's Performance Center. The injury would keep her out of action until September 2023, where she returned to the ring at a live event.
Since returning, Grace has wrestled the likes of Gigi Dolin, Kelani Jordan, and Fallon Henley.
While speaking to Taylor Wilde of the Wilde On podcast for a new interview, Grace recalled exactly how the injury happened.
“I definitely remember that day very clearly. We were in training and it was just a practice match at the PC, and it was off of a lockup. Yeah, I went forward, the girl turned and it was just two different momentums and [my knee] snapped. I felt like a big pop but it didn’t hurt. So 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. I was like, ‘Everyone’s gonna think I’m a chicken, I should’ve finished the match.’ It’s ironic looking back at it now, [I was hoping] that it was a least a little bit sprained so nobody thinks I’m a wuss. I got the call and it was like, torn ACL, torn meniscus, sprained MCL. After that, what can you do? You only have one option, it’s surgery, rehab, and then move on, so I had to do what I had to do.”
