14 Injured WWE Stars (And When They’re Set To Return)

3. Tegan Nox

Few WWE wrestlers have ever been as cursed by injuries as Nox, who underwent surgery to repair her torn ACL in September 2020.

Depressingly, this was the third time the former Nixon Newell has faced such a gruelling recovery process. Originally pegged as a potential Mae Young Classic 2017 tournament favourite, she was rendered unable to compete in the competition after suffering her first torn AXL. Then, in the 2018 tourney, Nox suffered a nightmare knee injury that damaged multiple parts of the joint, rendering her unable to return until the following join.

Three serious ACL injuries in as many years makes it tough to accurately forecast Nox's return, though she was off crutches by January.

Returning: Soon, maybe?
