2-time WWE champion will be out of action due to torn ACL - Reports
WWE had one of its biggest years in professional wrestling, but some stars are absent from the weekly product as they are on the injured list. A new report suggests two-time NXT Women's Tag Team Champion Gigi Dolin is out with a torn ACL.
ACL injuries are one of the most common injuries in professional wrestling, and they could easily take months to recover with or without surgery. Earlier this year, Gigi Dolin vanished from television, as she was often seen interacting with Arianna Grace on WWE NXT.
According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (WON), two-time NXT Women's Tag Team Champion Gigi Dolin will be out of action due to a torn ACL. This report matches a previous report from Fightful Select, in which they stated Dolin had a serious knee injury.
The former Toxic Attraction member was Miss NXT in training under Arianna Grace's guidance before they scrapped the ongoing storyline. Currently, there has been no timetable provided for her potential return.
Mandy Rose claims WWE had no plans of creating Toxic Attraction on NXT
Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne received their big breaks in WWE when they decided to team up with Mandy Rose on the developmental brand. The trio went on to become one of the most dominant women's factions in the company called Toxic Attraction.
However, The Golden Goddess revealed that the management had no plans for a faction when she arrived at the developmental brand. During an appearance on the Heated Shenanigans Podcast, Rose revealed how Toxic Attraction came into play on WWE NXT:
"I went back there [NXT]. I remember speaking to Triple H and Shawn Michaels. We didn't want to pigeonhole me. It wasn't like, 'Oh we're going to do this with you.' They had some ideas that they were marinating with and figuring out what the best thing was, but no one knew [...] I really just love the fact that instead of making those girls a little bit more like me, it was kinda like I took their edge, and they made me a little bit more like them. We're all so different, the three of us, but we merged really well together," Rose said. [From 04:18 to 04:53]
