Mercedes Martinez Reveals She’s Undergoing ACL Surgery Today

Former AEW and ROH wrestler and former ROH Women’s World Champion Mercedes Martinez announced earlier today that she’s undergoing surgery to repair her torn ACL today. As previously reported, Martinez suffered a torn ACL during a match earlier in August.

She wrote on her X account, “Today’s the day! ❤️ ACL surgery is finally here. 🙏 TY to everyone who donated, shared, & sent love. You helped get me here & I’m forever grateful. Now begins the road to recovery. Almost 26 years in wrestling, & I’m not done fighting yet! 🖤”

Martinez parted ways with AEW after her contract expired in early 2026. She last appeared on ROH TV in May 2024, teaming with Diamante and Taya Valkyrie in a winning effort against Abadon, Lady Frost, and Leyla Hirsch.
