eila Grey is pushing through a tough recovery — and she says things are moving faster than expected.
During a virtual signing with East Coast Autograph Auctions, Leila Grey gave fans an update on her recovery following ACL surgery earlier this year. The injury has kept her out of action for months, but she says her rehab is going well so far. Grey told fans she’s staying locked into her therapy and doing everything she can to get back into the ring.
“I’m actually healing up pretty well so, keeping up with my therapy and yeah, we’re gonna come back strong.”
She admitted the process hasn’t been easy, especially being away from wrestling, but said staying positive has been key while she works toward a return.
“It’s a long process, but, I’m trying to stay positive. Doing what I gotta do… to come back strong, make a big comeback because I miss all you guys so much. I miss going to work, I miss wrestling, I miss being in the ring.”
Grey also revealed that her recovery timeline is actually moving slightly ahead of schedule, something that gives her confidence even though she knows it will still take time.
“It’s gonna be a long recovery. That is for sure, but, I am definitely doing good on my physical therapy and I’m healing up and I’m going even a little faster than the healing timeline by my doctor so, it’s going good but it’s definitely gonna be a while.”
Grey originally suffered the ACL injury during a December 6, 2025 episode of AEW Collision, before undergoing surgery in March 2026.
Even though she’s still months away from returning, being ahead of schedule is a strong sign that her comeback could eventually come sooner than expected — something fans have been waiting to see since her injury.
Do you think Leila Grey will come back stronger than before once she returns, or should AEW take extra time with her recovery to avoid another setback? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
