Leila Grey has revealed she sustained a torn ACL during her recent TBS Championship match against Mercedes Moné.
The injury occurred during the December 6 episode of AEW Collision.
During the broadcast, Grey appeared to hurt her knee after delivering a running knee strike in the corner. She finished the match, submitting to Moné’s Statement Maker.
Despite the severity of the injury, Grey participated in a WBFF Pro Fitness event this weekend, wearing a knee brace. She placed first in her category.
Grey announced the news on social media, stating that she will require surgery and will be out of action “for a while.”
FIRST PLACE BABY! 🥇
I just won, went Pro, and become the new WBFF Pro Fitness Diva!!….. with a freakin’ torn ACL!
For those that may not know, I tore my ACL last week in my match with Mercedes. I’ll be going into surgery and will be out of commission for a while. This couldn’t have happened at a worse time. Not only did it affect my championship match, a MAJOR opportunity for me, but it happened one week out from my debut WBFF show that I had invested so much of my life into the past year. People expected me to drop out, but honey,
There’s no quit in me. I’m a boss ass baddie, and I always get the job done. Strapped up, blinged out my knee brace and it was go time! The devil tried to take this away from me but God said nope! THIS IS FOR YOU!! Thank you to all of my amazing supporters. I love you all. This is just the beginning in my fitness career. Many more wins to come! ❤️
Thank you WBFF for allowing me to live out my dreams.
A native of Queens, New York, Grey began her wrestling career in 2020 on the Florida independent circuit. She made her AEW debut in March 2021 on an episode of AEW Dark and later gained prominence as a member of Jade Cargill’s “The Baddies” faction in 2022. Grey is also a three-time OVW Women’s Champion.
The night prior to her injury, Grey wrestled Zayda Steel on the Zero Hour pre-show for ROH Final Battle on December 5.
