Probably should edit the title since it's pretty misleading. From the sounds of it it sounds more like it'll be nine months before she's ready to even begin working to come back than her actually returning in that time. Yea, it takes 9 months for one knee
With 2 you might as well say 12-16 months
She won't be able to walk for like a month and then she has to build strength in them back, most likely one at a time so yeah this is going to be a bitch to go through

Damn these injuries.
Best of luck to her, that's a nasty one.

2 holes essentially since Tamina was tied to Nia You don't have the powerhouse in Nia anymore for the foreseeable future or ever again for that matter but it is a good time to bring in Nikki plus as you said you can bring up a good amount of women and still be set with talent waiting in the wings to get TV time in NXT To count the women that are gone: Nia Jax
Sasha - Vaca/frustration Ronda - Broken hand Tamina - Leaves with Nia A few top spots are open
Team Splash & Hug confirmed. Samoan Snuggle Crew?

Not a Nia fan but absoutely gutted for her and wish her a full recovery,whatever people think of her as a performer she has always appeared to be willing to do whatever the company wanted in the ring and willing to turn face/heel at the drop of a hat.

Both knees? Holy crap that’s going to require more than 9 months. I know the rehab aspect will take a lot longer

That's brutal and I hope she's able to come out of this okay because that sounds like a hell and it's going to be year+ of definitely not being able to live like herself.

Women’s division looking very depleted all the sudden. Not a fan of her but get well Nia. Is it? They can just move Ember/Riott Squad/Naomi/Mandy and Sonya up the card to fill in the time slots. They have enough depth they can even deal with Sasha and Bayley leaving pretty comfortable as well. I meant the ones they love pushing or keeping on tv yes. I’m beyond ready for a push for the Riott Squad I’m wearing their shirt.

So with Nia out for the foreseeable future, if not forever, how do you fill that raw power wrestler spot for the women? Do they slingshot Rhea Ripley up once she heals? She’s literally the only other big, physically imposing power style wrestler they have who isn’t Tamina, and I REALLY don’t want the women to have to take oh Tamina one on one.

One, two, I'm marching for you... Granted I can see why you'd want to forget that.

She's been main roster ready for a long time now, but this Nia injury just makes them keeping the NXT Women's Title on Shayna at Takeover even worse to me.

If we have to have a main roster powerhouse, maybe give Dana Brooke another look? I vaguely remember her getting some okay reactions during the battle royal.

Never heard of her, but looking her up, she definitely could work, but she’s also 36, so that would just be a temporary fix all things considered. I would like to see it though. She has a great look.

The issue is if Sasha and Bayley are done then they need to find babyface teams to fill out the card. Naomi and Carmella are an easy fix together. Ember and Nikki can be thrown together as well. And Paige is bringing a new tag team to smackdown next week. If the reports are to be believed she could be managing the sky pirates.

It really depends on how severe the ACL tears are regarding how long she’ll be out of action. If she needs reconstruction then it’s definitely going to be nine months. If the tears are minor it would be a few months. Either way she should probably drop some weight to make her recovery easier and less stressful. I wish her all the best.
