After spending 11 months on the sidelines a WWE star has returned to the ring for their first televised match since suffering an ACL injury in October 2022.
Second-generation NXT star Arianna Grace, the real-life daughter of Santino Marella, was seen back on WWE TV for the first time last month at NXT Heatwave featuring in a segment alongside real-life boyfriend Channing ‘Stacks’ Lorenzo.
Prior to that, the 28-year-old had entered the 2023 Miss Universe Canada competition, placing in the top 20 overall.
While Grace has certainly been busy in recent months, her long-awaited in-ring return would come at an NXT house show on September 9 from Melbourne, FL, losing to Fallon Henley.
While her first match back ended in defeat it did spell an impending return to televised in-ring action, and the wait is now over as Grace worked the September 19 taping of NXT Level Up.
According to spoilers from the show courtesy of PWInsider, Grace once again took on Fallon Henley.
PWInsider notes that Grace returned with a ‘Beauty Queen’ character, perhaps looking to follow up on her participation in Miss Universe Canada 2023.
The other matches taped for Level Up were Myles Borne vs Riley Osborne, Izzi Dame vs Ivy Nile, and Charlie Dempsey vs Axiom.
Only three matches will air on this coming Friday’s episode so it’s unclear if Grace vs Henley will be one of those or if it’ll be saved for a future week.
A Luca Crusifino vs Ikemen Jiro match that was taped last week also hasn’t aired yet.
