An injured WWE star has shared an update on their recovery, potentially revealing an expected time frame for their return.
The May 19 episode of WWE Raw saw Zoey Stark sustain a legitimate injury that resulted in her removal from a match.
Having undergone surgery for a torn ACL, MCL and meniscus, Stark recently provided an update on her recovery.
Recently, Stark provided an indication of the road ahead when it comes to an in-ring return, responding to a tweet from Road Dogg Brian James.
The tweet saw the WWE executive suggest a 25-minute match between Asuka and Zoey Stark when the latter returns.
In response, Stark was enthusiastic for the suggestion, indicating that she’s expecting to be able to wrestle in eight months, tweeting:
“Hell yea, let’s do it!! Let’s say in about 8 months? 😜”
While this doesn’t categorically rule out a return in the near future, eight months would take us to March 2026.
That date would take us to the road to WrestleMania 42, with the two-night WWE Premium Live Event returning to the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
WWE WrestleMania 42 takes place on April 18 & 19, 2026, with New Orleans having been initially announced as the host city.
According to Stark, she is been working on her physical therapy and was able to achieve “90-degree flexion” on her injured knee.
We wish Zoey Stark all the best with her recovery.
