KiLynn King out of action 9-12 months due to knee injury
KiLynn King will be out of action for up to 12 months due to a knee injury.
In an Instagram video on Friday, King gave fans an update on why she hasn’t been wrestling lately and wasn’t part of TNA Wrestling’s Hard to Kill weekend in Las Vegas. King said she’s still with TNA, but she suffered a knee injury at an indie show about a month ago. She temporarily dislocated her knee during a match which caused a torn ACL, damage to her MCL, and an LCL sprain.
King has surgery scheduled for the first week of February. The expected timeline for her return is 9-12 months. King’s goal is to be back in 9-10 months, but she knows these things can’t be rushed. King knows that she needs to take her time if she wants to come back stronger and better.
King said she has faith and is choosing to believe that everything happens for a reason, even if she doesn’t know what that reason is yet.
“I love TNA, I love wrestling,” an emotional King said. “As much as it sucks that I can’t be there right now, I can’t wait to tune in every single week and get motivated by them. And come back stronger than ever. Because you know what, it doesn’t matter whether it’s this year or next year — the King of Knockouts is always going to be the one to watch.”
It was confirmed in March 2023 that King had signed an exclusive contract with TNA. She formerly wrestled for the NWA and had made regular appearances for AEW.
King is a former TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champion, holding the titles with Taylor Wilde.
