As previously reported, AEW wrestler Leila Grey suffered a torn ACL during her match against Mercedes Mone last month on AEW Collision. Grey shared an update on social media last night, providing more details about her injury and recovery.

During the video, Leila Grey pinpointed the part of the match where she first felt her knee pop. However, she continued the match, and after hitting Mone with a running knee strike is when she really felt her knee go out.

Leila Grey explained about her injury status, “So today is January 19, and I had my consultation with a surgeon, so it’s been over a month since my injury. I finally got to see the surgeon today, and unfortunately, the feedback that I got is that I still do not have the full range of motion in my leg so I can’t fully extend it, still can’t fully bend my knee, so because of that, I still have to do more pre-hab, at least another month of pre-hab, twice a week, and then after that, he said he should be able to operate.”

Grey continued, “So, it’s going to be a long and lengthy journey to healing, but I am staying positive, I am staying optimistic, gonna do what I have to do, and my plan is just to be better than before than I even left. So, wish me luck, guys. I will continue to update you guys on my recovery, what is going on, but thank you guys for all the lovely messages that you all have been sending me. Really appreciate all the support and all the love, and I will catch you guys soon.”

She also wrote in the caption, “Here’s a little update for you guys on my recovery and where I’m at currently. Also, a look into the exact moment in my match when I tore my ACL. I didn’t get a chance to mention it in my video, but also a huge thank you to @aew. They’ve been there for me every step of the way throughout this journey. Blessed to be working somewhere that truly cares ❤️ #recovery #AEW #tornACL #injury #surgery”
