AEW Star Details Rough Recovery From Recent Injury

AEW Star Details Rough Recovery From Recent Injury AEW

AEW star Ruby Soho made her return to the company on the November 30 episode of AEW Dynamite.

Soho had been out of action since she broke her nose in a match with Sammy Guevara and Tay Melo on the AEW All Out Zero Hour pre-show.

Ruby appeared on Busted Open Radio, where she detailed her ‘rollercoaster’ year in 2022, from trying to find her footing in the company, to the injury she suffered.

She said:

“2022 has been a rollercoaster. It has been me trying to kind of find my footing here in AEW, exactly what my role is, where I fit in, who I wanna present myself as, and obviously getting injured and being out for three months, and then kind of mentally dealing with that.

“I think anybody on this panel who has wrestled before understands that injuries are almost more mental than they are physical, at least for me anyway. So it’s been a rollercoaster, but I think it’s been really empowering, and I think the best is yet to come for me, for sure,”

Ruby went on to detail her recovery from her injury, and how she found it ‘rough’.

She said:

“I think with this [injury], with my nose being broken at All Out, I think it was because it was so sudden, and I had no time to prepare for it, and you gotta understand that it’s go, go, go, go, onto the next thing, onto the next thing, and all of a sudden, it’s abruptly stopped.

“You go home, and you’re not going back to work for the foreseeable future because you have to recover, you have to have surgery, you have to do this and that. So it’s such an abrupt stop with no anticipation, and it’s such a change in lifestyle in such a quick period of time, so your brain has to have time to kind of get used to where you’re at now, and try to convince yourself, ‘Oh, maybe I’m missing an opportunity that I could have had if I didn’t get injured.’

“A lot of mental difficulty comes with that, but I think at the same time, it’s super important to realize that you need those times. You need those times for things to stop so you can process everything that’s happened in the recent years or months or whatever, and you can really just take the time to let your body recover.

“My body was hurting, and not even just obviously my nose, but my back was hurting, my neck was hurting. I probably wrestled more in the last year than I had probably in the four years prior to that. It was tough matches with incredible women that go out and put it all out there every time, so my body was hurting. So I think honestly, mentally, physically, emotionally, all of that, it was needed if I’m being honest.”

Ruby Soho defeated Tay Melo at the Winter Is Coming special episode of AEW Dynamite on December 14.
