yeah I remember when Xavier did his that a few people were saying it could easily end a career because it's so hard to recover from. Definitely sad for her if so. This is where I used to quote Adam Wainwright coming back to pitch in the same season he tore his Achillies. However, it’s pretty clear he hasn’t really been the same pitcher since then. |

Yea, he rushed back and it has plagued him ever since Kobe wasn't the same after his achilles tear. He lost that step. It is why some of the NBA was afraid about Durant. It is not that he would never come back but this injury could cost him his prime and for how skinny and tall he is, leg injuries aren't good |

Damn, that's so sad. I hope she recovers. She'll have to change her style around but she can make it work.

Good grief, imagine having a career ending injury caused by running around chasing the 24/7 title. Sheesh. My understanding is it was likely one of those situations where realistically anything could have been a trigger. That's the thing with an Achilles tear. It can happen almost any time and they are hard to come back from no matter what. Kobe was never ever the same after he tore his, granted he was already getting up there in years, but still played at a fairly high level. After he got hurt, that was it. I hope this isn't the end for Ember. I think when she's able to go, she can be awesome. It's just one of those injuries that really takes its toll. |

This sucks.Ember/Athena is one of the sweetest people in wrestling. Met her quite a few years ago and she still will send a message every few months to see how we are doing.

I can tell she's devastated.
Hopefully her luck turns around soon.

What an awful waste of such a talented performer, had all the right tools bar terrible booking. Fingers crossed we do see her return.

😞 Got her autograph pic displayed in my room next to a Paddington Bear hugging it.
I’ve liked her every since I saw her in SHIMMER years ago.
Then a few years ago she had some other injury where it seemed doubtful she’d return.
Hoping she can pull through again.
Wishing you the best Athena/Ember

Kobe was basically playing 40min a night or right around when he tore his so was not just random but he was going so full bore at 37 and everyone knew something was going to give playing that much at that age.
I would hope she comes back because she never got out the first blocks so to speak with her career and would hate to see it end like that for her but saying all that she isn't going to be the same athlete and if she tries to be she is gonna tear it again.

That really sucks. I always thought if anything was going to get her it was going to be hip or back from that finisher.

That sucks. As others have said, you literally lose a step when you tear your Achilles. It's an awful injury for anyone but for an athlete it's one of the worst.
Doesn't she already train/run a school? She can always continue down that path if her in-ring days are done.

WWE recently released the best of Asuka on the network. And yea, Ember should have beaten Asuka.

Should have beaten Asuka both times That still gets me kind of mad because Asuka ended up vacating the title. Too add on to that, Ember was built as the one who came closest to beating Asuka both times. The only person Asuka had to cheat against during her dominant stretch (until the heel turn much later) |

My understanding feet/legs/their assorted tendons are really easy to injure... since they are bearing the brunt of the bodies weight. hell my brother broke his foot jumping down something that was like 3 feet... |
