WWE NXT superstar Adriana Rizzo has shared the full, detailed story of the ACL injury that has her currently on the sidelines. In a new video posted to her TikTok, Rizzo revealed that she had been wrestling on a partially torn ACL for over a year before it finally gave out during a practice session.
Adriana Rizzo’s Partial ACL Tear
Rizzo explained how the initial injury occurred a year and a half ago. “I had a partial tear. Partial, not fully. Partial tear on my ACL,” she said. “A year and a half ago, I was doing a throw over my head and somebody pushed my knee in, partially tore my ACL. Whatever. I’m fine. I worked through it for a year and a half.”
The Decision To Keep Wrestling
She went on to explain her decision to continue competing on the injured knee, knowing the risks involved. “Yes, I knew there was a chance it was gonna fully tear, but I wasn’t about to sit out for a year and a half because I got, you know, a splinter on my ACL,” Rizzo stated. “I’m gonna get surgery when the whole kabang goes. So, I’m gonna go as long as I can until that happens. Yes, I knew it was a possibility. Yes, I made the decision. Yes, I’m still happy about my decision.”
Rizzo then detailed the moment the inevitable finally happened. “So what happened was I was at practice, I was doing a drill, I’m running over to the corner and boom, my knee just, you know, bada bing, bada boom, explodes,” she recalled. “I fall over, I lay on the floor for like four minutes because I knew. I knew my knee exploded and then I was like, well, sh*t, there it goes. There it goes.”
