Adriana Rizzo Cleared to Return After Torn ACL and Meniscus Injury

Adriana Rizzo is coming back ahead of schedule. The professional wrestler took to social media to announce she has been medically cleared to return to competition following a serious knee injury.

Rizzo revealed back in August 2025 that she had suffered a torn ACL and meniscus, the kind of double knee injury that typically sidelines athletes for the better part of a year or more. At the time, she was targeting a spring 2026 return — meaning her clearance now represents a welcome early turnaround on what was shaping up to be a lengthy rehabilitation.

In her social media announcement, Rizzo kicked things off with a playful tease: “Guess who’s back… back AGAIN!” — signaling that, beyond the physical recovery, her enthusiasm for getting back in the ring appears fully intact.

Torn ACL injuries are among the most feared in professional wrestling. The combination of the demanding physical schedule and the athletic nature of the work makes the recovery process particularly grueling, requiring not just surgical repair but extensive rehab to rebuild the strength and stability needed to perform safely. The fact that Rizzo is cleared ahead of her originally anticipated timeline is encouraging news for anyone who has followed her career.

With the green light now in hand, all eyes will be on where and when Rizzo makes her in-ring return. She hasn’t announced a specific date or event yet, but the clearance itself is the first and most important hurdle — and she’s cleared it.
