It was previously reported that Nia Jax recently took to Twitter and indicated that she is suffering from an injury and that she would be gone for a while. It was then reported, via Pro Wrestling Sheet, that Jax is currently suffering from ACL tears in both knees and would need to undergo surgery.
Jax just recently posted another tweet and confirmed that she will be undergoing double knee surgery to repair the injuries. She noted that she has been working through the pain for the past year.
“Some of you may or may not know, but I will be out of action for a little while,” Jax wrote, “Unfortunately, I have been pushing through some pain over the last year due to injuries in my knees and I will be undergoing surgery to repair both of my ACLs. I’m grateful to everyone who has supported me! Thank you!”
Jax hasn’t wrestled since WrestleMania 35 this past Sunday night where she competed in A Fatal 4-Way Match for The WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles with partner Tamina Snuka against The Divas Of Doom (Natalya & WWE Hall Of Famer Beth Phoenix), New WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions The IIconics (Billie Kay & Peyton Royce) and Former Champions The Boss ‘N’ Hug Connection (Sasha Banks & Bayley).
There is still no word yet on how long Jax will be out of action, but it could be for up to 9 months. WWE has not yet officially announced the injury. More information will be provided once it is made available.
