Leila Grey has confirmed that she suffered a torn ACL during her match against Mercedes Mone on the December 6 episode of AEW Collision. The injury occurred during a bout where Grey fell to the mat after delivering a running knee in the corner, leading to Mone securing the victory with the Statement Maker.
Despite the severe injury, Grey managed an incredible feat just days later. She competed in a WBFF Pro Fitness event wearing a knee brace and finished in first place, earning her status as a WBFF Pro Fitness Diva. Grey addressed the situation in a celebratory social media post, revealing that she will require surgery that will keep her out of action for the foreseeable future.
“FIRST PLACE BABY! 🥇 I just won, went Pro, and become the new WBFF Pro Fitness Diva!!….. with a freakin’ torn ACL!” Grey wrote. “For those that may not know, I tore my ACL last week in my match with Mercedes. I’ll be going into surgery and will be out of commission for a while. This couldn’t have happened at a worse time. Not only did it affect my championship match, a MAJOR opportunity for me, but it happened one week out from my debut WBFF show that I had invested so much of my life into the past year.”

“People expected me to drop out, but honey, There’s no quit in me. I’m a boss ass baddie, and I always get the job done. Strapped up, blinged out my knee brace and it was go time! The devil tried to take this away from me but God said nope! THIS IS FOR YOU!! Thank you to all of my amazing supporters. I love you all. This is just the beginning in my fitness career. Many more wins to come!”
On The Bryan & Vinny Show, Bryan Alvarez offered insight into when the injury likely took place. While the collapse happened after the running knee, Alvarez believes the damage was done moments earlier.
“I actually think that she hurt her knee on a sling blade because she did a sling blade prior to this and you can see she’s trying to get up and she’s doing it very slowly. And then she sort of half limps into this knee in the corner and then she collapses,” Alvarez observed. “She did manage to get one more spot or two in but then Mercedes put her in the Banks Statement and submitted her.”
