WWE NXT’s Adriana Rizzo has suffered another major setback, revealing on August 10, 2025, that she’s torn her ACL and meniscus.
In an Instagram post, Rizzo detailed the ongoing struggles she’s faced with injuries over the past two years, explaining that this is just the latest hurdle in her battle to get fully healthy.
“Here we go again… torn ACL and meniscus. A setback, not the end. As some of you know, I’ve had a string of bad luck with injuries — I tore my Achilles in 2023, partially tore my ACL four months later, and have been working on it ever since. After a year and a half, it finally gave out on me. I’m ready to attack this and come back 100% healthy for the first time in my WWE career.”
For professional athletes, recovery from a torn ACL and meniscus can vary, but it often ranges from 8 to 12 months depending on the severity of the damage, the type of surgery performed, and how well rehabilitation goes. Returning to a sport as physically demanding as professional wrestling typically requires extensive physical therapy to regain stability, strength, and confidence in the knee before full competition is possible.
With Adriana Rizzo now facing months away from the ring, fans will be watching closely to see how she tackles rehab and whether this will finally be the comeback that sticks. She’s made it clear she’s not done yet — and if her fighting spirit matches her words, the NXT star could return with more fire than ever.
