AEW star Kris Statlander has provided an update on her injury status.
She suffered a completely torn ACL and lateral meniscus on the August 5th edition of Dark, where she worked a match against Sierra. It happened when she landed wrong on her right leg after connecting with a big boot.
In September, she underwent surgery. An ACL tear recovery time is usually eight to nine months. However, some people may recover in six months, while lateral meniscus tears can take up to three months if surgery is done, while non-operative treatments can take six to eight weeks in recovery.
In a post on Twitter, she noted that she isn’t medically cleared yet.
No I am not cleared yet

“AEW Wrestler Provides Injury Update” is the headline I’m expecting to see

The injury happened at an unfortunate time for her as Statlander was in line for a sizable push in the months ahead. This marked the second serious knee injury as she was previously sidelined with a torn left ACL in June 2020 and out of action for several months.
We wish her a speedy recovery.
