Injuries are part of wrestling, and several WWE superstars are currently on the shelf because of it. One of those stars is Sonya Deville, who is recovering from a torn ACL, but the latest reports on her recovery are a little bit worrying.
Deville finally won her first title in WWE back on July 17 when she won the Women's Tag Team Championships with Chelsea Green. However, she suffered a torn ACL in her knee on the July 28 episode of WWE SmackDown in a match against Charlotte Flair and Bianca Belair.
The former Tough Enough contestant underwent successful surgery in early August. She's expected to make a full recovery, but there's no current timetable for her return. Typical recovery time for a torn ACL is around six to nine months.
According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, Deville is slowly recovering from her injury. Sapp reported in his latest Q&A that the former Women's Tag Team champ could still be out for 9 to 10 months.
