An injury to Rachael Evers from last weekend’s NXT live event in Fort Pierce, FL has turned out worse than expected. Her match with Lacey Lane had to be stopped last Saturday due to the injury and it has now been revealed that Evers tore her ACL. She is scheduled for surgery next week.
Recovery time for a torn ACL is listed at 6-9 months.
She posted the following to her social media accounts in regards to her injury:
Rachel Evers – Torn ACL
“Professional wrestling is the love of my life. My heart is at home when I’m in that ring sharing moments with you all,” Evers’ statement reads. “On Saturday night, my heart broke a little bit. At our NXT show in Florida, I tore my ACL. Those three letters have caused me to feel so much pain, disappointment and fear.”
Real-name Rachael Ellering, the 26-year-old daughter of Paul Ellering signed with WWE this January but has been making appearances in NXT since 2016. She’s also competed in 2 Mae Young Classic tournaments.
“I have surgery on Tuesday and Wednesday I begin my journey back to my home — the ring,” Evers continued. “As a wise woman once said, “I am a goddess, a glorious female warrior.” So now its time to prove it.”
