“Here we go again… torn ACL and meniscus. A setback, not the end. As some of you know, I’ve had a string of bad luck with injuries — I tore my Achilles in 2023, partially tore my ACL four months later, and have been working on it ever since. After a year and a half, it finally gave out on me. I’m ready to attack this and come back 100% healthy for the first time in my WWE career.”

Rizzo hasn’t appeared in the ring since Wrestlemania weekend in April. She has largely been kept off TV in recent months amid The D’Angelo Family’s split. At one point, Rizzo was absent from numerous weeks of TV with the explanation that she was being kept in a “safe house” amid turmoil within the group.
