Two weeks ago, Mercedes Mone defeated Zeuxis to claim the CMLL Women’s World Championship during “AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam Mexico.” While some fans may have hoped Zeuxis would continue her reign, the CMLL star needed to step away due to a torn meniscus and undergo surgery. On Monday, Zeuxis shared an update on social media, posting photos from her hospital bed and explaining that after a month of pushing through the injury, she finally had the surgery and is now fully focused on recovery. She expressed her love for wrestling and her fans, promising to return stronger and reclaim what is hers.
Last summer, Mone and Zeuxis were tied 1-1 in their matches for the TBS Championship on “Dynamite,” with Mone securing a win in her second title defense on AEW TV. Since winning the CMLL Women’s World title, Mone leads their head-to-head 2-0. However, once Zeuxis recovers from her surgery, there is potential for a rematch between the two. The recovery time for a ruptured meniscus varies depending on the injury’s severity, ranging from weeks to months. Wrestling Inc. extends best wishes for Zeuxis’s speedy and full recovery.
Fan Take: This update is significant for AEW fans because it highlights the resilience of top athletes like Zeuxis, who push through injuries to compete at the highest level. Her eventual comeback could lead to a thrilling rivalry with Mercedes Mone, adding depth and excitement to the women’s division in AEW.
