NXT’s Tegan Nox May Have Torn Her ACL

Please not again. There are a lot of wrestlers who have all the potential in the world but for some reason they can’t stay healthy. It can be one of the most frustrating things in the world for a wrestler and to a lesser extent the fans, but it happens to a lot of wrestlers in any generation. Unfortunately, it may have happened again and that’s a horrible thing to see.

It’s easy to see why WWE would want to push Tegan Nox to the moon. She is young, talented, has an international background and comes off like a star every time she is in on camera. Nox has gotten a heck of a push in NXT and seemed ready to have a major showdown with Candice LeRae. However, Nox also has a horrible history of knee injuries and the list might be growing.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Nox has possibly suffered another knee injury, which may be another torn ACL. Nox was scheduled to take part in a battle royal on this week’s NXT to crown a new #1 contender. However, a video aired showing LeRae attacking her earlier in the day with Nox’s knee being injured. The video may have been used as a way to write her off of television and her status is not currently known. Nox most recently injured her knee in the 2018 Mae Young Classic, putting her out of action for about ten months.

Nox is great when she’s healthy. Check out what she can do at full strength:

Opinion: I really hope that’s not the case as no one deserves to go through that kind of injury again. Nox has worked so hard to get back but there comes a point where A, you can’t keep going through this kind of rehab and B, WWE can’t keep risking putting her out there. This is potentially a third major injury. How long would it be before she has a fourth and how long would it take to recover from that one? Hopefully it isn’t as bad as it seems, but this does not sound good.

What do you think of Nox? Will she wrestle again? Let us know in the comments below.
