Arianna Grace was written off WWE NXT television following an injury in October of last year. Her push was derailed following a torn ACL for which she had to undergo surgery.
Grace has since been working toward her return to the ring and has begun taking bumps after being out for several months.
Taking to Twitter, Grace wrote,
“Bumped in the ring today for my first time in sooooo long. wrestlers you know how I’m feeling. excited as anything & sore!”

Cora Jade appeared on Tuesday’s edition of WWE NXT to bid farewell to the black and gold brand. Jade lost a Kendo Stick Match to Dana Brooke on last week’s show.
Jade noted that her loss to Brooke was the final straw and she wished good luck to the women in the locker room before taking her leave.

Also on this week’s episode of WWE NXT, Trick Williams informed Carmelo Hayes that he needed to be his own man and that he was not done with Ilja Dragunov after the Russian took him out at NXT Great American Bash during the main event NXT Title match.
Williams told Hayes it wasn’t a breakup, rather the NXT Champion must prove to the world that he can defend his title on his own. Hayes accepted Williams’ decision and they hugged.
Toward the end of the show, Dragunov announced that he’s glad Trick isn’t done with him because he isn’t either and that his retribution would begin next week.
You can check out some highlights from the segments below:
"This ain't no breakup, I just gotta be my own man."
