WWE star Sonya Deville has been out of action with a torn ACL she suffered on the July 28 episode of SmackDown, when her and Chelsea Green lost to Bianca Belair and Charlotte Flair.
Sonya was one half of the Women’s Tag Team Champions at the time of her injury, her first championship reign in her WWE career.
Sonya was forced to vacate her title, with Piper Niven standing in as Chelsea’s Tag Team Championship partner during her absence.
Speaking to Taylor Wilde on Wilde On, Chelsea discussed Sonya’s injury, providing a positive update on her recovery.
She said:
“I was more so worried for her (Sonya Deville when she got injured) in the sense of like, she just has worked so hard to get there. I have been through this a million times. Like you (Taylor Wilde) said it when we first started, I have been fired and rehired a million times, I’ve broken bones. I’m good. I know I can come up with something and if they don’t wanna use it, then they’re gonna do what they want. You can’t change that.
“But I was just worried for her and her mental health, like going from being on the road for the past seven-to-eight years to having her very first injury and being out after winning the championship, her first title. But actually, it turns out she’s thriving and doing amazing and healing so well and we talk all the time and I was just very, very grateful to be given a second chance.”
