It is heartbreaking news for her fans, as she has injured herself on the road to WrestleMania. For her fans, it is clear from here on out that the former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion is going to miss out on the majority of 2024.

I tore my ACL which means I will be out of action for about 9 months. Thank you to everyone who has checked up on me. I am so sorry if I haven’t responded. I am just extremely devastated and angry. - I’ve watched my sister, who is fighting cancer, fight tougher battles. I’m just taking this as a sign to slow down. I didn’t take time off when both my stepdad and my dad passed and that really affected me. Now I am looking forward to coming back not just physically stronger, but mentally also.
