“Obviously, the tag team titles are cursed,” she joked. “Just kidding. But like, not really.”
Deville said she injured her ACL on this past Friday’s SmackDown, where she and Chelsea Green teamed together in a losing effort against Charlotte Flair and Bianca Belair. She said she will be undergoing surgery on Tuesday. She also talked about how she had been working for the last eight years to win a title in WWE and finally did, winning the titles with Green.
“Obviously it’s super bitter to say its come to an end due to an injury,” she said. “Especially since it is my first injury in wrestling, or really in sports in general…obviously it’s super disappointing and it couldn’t have come at a worse time, but I don’t think any injury comes at a great time. That’s just how the cookie crumbles.”
She finished the video by saying coming back from the injury will give her a “bigger motivation and passion for what I already love doing, and that’s being in the WWE.”
