Tegan Nox injury: How many times has she torn her ACL?
Wrestling is a dangerous profession, as Tegan Nox can readily testify. The superstar has suffered multiple injuries over her career, before she could even start in the company.
During her WWE tenure, Nox has suffered three tears in her ACL, and other horrifying injuries that have kept her out of action for a long time. An ACL injury is one of the worst injuries a sports person may go through.
It is a tear or sprain of the anterior cruciate ligament. The ACL helps to keep the thigh bone connected to the shinbone. It's unfortunately a common sports injury.
A history of Tegan Nox's injuries in WWE
Tegan Nox signed with WWE in April 2017 and was going to be a part of the Mae Young Classic. Unfortunately, a tear in her right ACL right before the tournament meant that she had to be replaced.
She returned to the company and competed in the 2018 Mae Young Classic tournament. It was supposed to be her triumphant return but ended in tragedy. During her match against Rhea Ripley, she suffered multiple injuries.
She tore her MCL, ACL, lateral collateral ligament, and meniscus and dislocated hr patella. The injuries were serious and kept her out of action for a year.
Unfortunately for Nox, this was not the last of her injuries. She made her in-ring return in June 2019. She wrestled in NXT UK and NXT and had an incredible feud with Dakota Kai.
In September 2020, WWE wrote Nox off television once again. Candice LeRae attacked her backstage, writing her off NXT TV. WWE later confirmed that she had suffered yet another torn ACL.
This time, she would spend ten months off NXT television before returning on July 6, 2021, at NXT's The Great American Bash event.
What did Tegan Nox do when she returned to in-ring action on NXT?
Upon returning to action at The Great American Bash event, Tegan Nox wasted no time. She picked up her feud with Candice LeRae that had cost her and Indi Hartwell their NXT Women's Tag Team Championships.
LeRae and Hartwell were facing Io Shirai and Zoey Stark, but the distraction by Nox proved sufficient for the tag team champions to lose their titles.
