Folks, let me tell you, Gigi Dolin has been fighting the good fight in “WWE NXT,” but it looks like her knee decided to tag out early. In the middle of her wild storyline with Arianna Grace—yes, the same Grace who tried to turn our fierce Gigi into a beauty queen—Dolin revealed she was “done” with all the shenanigans on the May 7 episode of “NXT.” Since then, she’s been as absent from WWE TV as a salad at a barbecue.
Now, some eagle-eyed fans noticed Dolin sporting a leg brace in a recent Instagram post, and naturally, the wrestling rumor mill started spinning faster than a politician on election night. Two big reports have come in hotter than a summer day in Miami, giving us the lowdown on Dolin’s injury and when we might see her back in the ring.
First up, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter is saying Dolin might be dealing with the dreaded torn ACL, the same injury that’s sidelined more NXT stars than missed flight connections in Chicago. If true, she joins the ranks of Sol Ruca, Nikkita Lyons, and Cora Jade—who’ve all been hit by the same injury. And as if that wasn’t enough, Fightful Select adds that Dolin is likely out for the rest of 2024. That’s longer than waiting for your food at a fancy restaurant.
For those keeping score, Dolin’s last match was on March 12, where she squared off against Grace. The stakes were higher than a New York skyscraper—lose, and Dolin had to undergo a pageant makeover. Spoiler alert: Dolin lost by disqualification, and we were treated to some hilarious makeover segments. Imagine trying to teach a tiger to be a house cat—yeah, it was that funny.
So, for now, Gigi Dolin’s wrestling boots are on the shelf. Let’s hope she heals up faster than a Twitter spat and comes back stronger than ever. In the meantime, we’ll keep an eye on her Instagram—because who doesn’t love a good comeback story?
