NXT’s Aria Bennett Undergoes ACL Surgery

Bennett issued a statement.

Taking to X, WWE NXT talent Aria Bennett shared that she has undergone successful surgery for an ACL tear. She added that she wanted to wait until the operation was done to update her supporters.

Bennett wrote the following:

“Life threw a curveball a few weeks ago…I tore my ACL. And yes it was torn in that dancing video, my surgery was scheduled for a later date.

Funny thing is, I didn’t even feel pain when it happened. I kept practicing like nothing was wrong. Found out later it was a full tear.

To protect my mental, I wanted to wait until after surgery to update my followers. At first it was a lot to process, until I started praying and realized God is always working…even when I can’t see it. 🙏🏾

Keeping things fun and lighthearted has helped me get through the hard times. Laughter really is medicine. This is just one chapter in the story. Right now, it’s about healing, trusting the process, and coming back stronger—mind, body, and spirit.

Thank you for all the love, support, and prayers. I’ll keep y’all posted on the comeback. 💪🏾❤️”

Bennett began her in-ring career with WWE in 2024. She moved to the EVOLVE brand in February. Her last match was at an NXT house show in April.
