An AEW star has commented on their recovery after suffering a torn ACL injury in late 2025, stating that this comeback will be personal.

Leila Grey last wrestled on the December 6, 2025 edition of Collision, unsuccessfully challenging for Mercedes Mone’s TBS Championship.

With Grey confirming that she had suffered a torn ACL during the match, she has now taken to social media to comment on her eventual return.

Grey posted photos to Twitter from an AEW photoshoot which took place ahead of her injury.

Noting that her comeback will be personal, Grey captioned the photos:

Queen Energy ⚡️

Took these the night before I tore my ACL and you can just tell I was about to start cooking, but the universe had other plans.

This comeback is personal. When I return, this Baddie is taking the ball and running with it ✨

Leila Grey announced in January after visiting a surgeon that she had more “prehab” to do ahead of being able to have surgery.

We wish Leila Grey a safe and healthy recovery.
