Injuries are an unfortunate, yet common occurrence in the world of wrestling. A handful of WWE superstars are on the sidelines due to various physical issues. Sonya Deville is currently in the process of recovering from a torn ACL. However, the recent updates on her recuperation means that fans have a long wait ahead of them.
Sonya Deville won her first WWE title victory on July 17th when she and Chelsea Green secured the Women’s Tag Team Championships. Unfortunately, she sustained a torn ACL in her knee during a match against Charlotte Flair and Bianca Belair on the July 28th episode of WWE SmackDown.
Following the injury, the former Tough Enough contestant underwent a successful surgery in early August. While she is expected to make a complete recovery, there is currently no specific timeline for her return. The usual recovery period for a torn ACL typically ranges from six to nine months.
As reported by Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select in his recent Q&A, Sonya Deville’s recovery from the injury appears to be progressing slowly. Sapp suggests that the former Women’s Tag Team champion might still be sidelined for approximately 9 to 10 months.
This injury was an unfortunate setback for Sonya Deville, who was gaining momentum alongside Chelsea Green as Women’s Tag Team Champions. Deville has been sharing updates about her recovery, and as of the beginning of this month, she has been able to shed her knee brace.
We’re hoping that Sonya Deville makes it back to the ring soon. Obviously, she has a lot of fans who want to see her wrestle again.
