WWE NXT talent Aria Bennett disclosed that she recently underwent surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). She shared this update via her Twitter (X) account after the operation, explaining her decision to wait until the procedure was completed before informing her followers. Bennett’s update highlights her resilience and determination to recover and return stronger.
The Injury and Mental Journey Behind the Scenes
Bennett revealed that the injury occurred during a dancing video, which initially did not cause her noticeable pain. She continued to train and perform without realizing the severity of the tear until later diagnosis confirmed a complete tear of her ACL. This unexpected challenge forced her to confront both physical and emotional hurdles.
She explained,
“Life threw a curveball a few weeks ago…I tore my ACL. And yes it was torn in that dancing video, my surgery was scheduled for a later date. Funny thing is, I didn’t even feel pain when it happened. I kept practicing like nothing was wrong. Found out later it was a full tear. To protect my mental, I wanted to wait until after surgery to update my followers. At first it was a lot to process, until I started praying and realized God is always working…even when I can’t see it. 🙏🏾”
