-- As noted earlier in the week, WWE’s Bayley recently underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL in her knee and is expected to be sidelined for approximately nine months. She suffered the injury while participating in mandatory training that most of the wrestlers had to take part in which led to some internal controversy and “second guessing” by her fellow wrestlers. One wrestler told the Observer despite the pandemic, they were still on TV wrestling weekly and didn’t need any further preparation to go back on the road and that the only impact wrestling more frequently had on them was that it led to more “wear and tear.” Others noted that WWE's idea of trying to get wrestlers into shape made no sense as all key talent were wrestling weekly and nobody was ever gassing out.
