Skye Blue credits Kyle Fletcher for helping her get through broken fibula recovery

Skye Blue has opened up about that injury that kept her out of action for ten months.

In an interview with Q101 that also featured boyfriend Kyle Fletcher, the AEW star talked about her injury that took place on July 20 during an episode of Collision. She was wrestling Thunder Rosa when she broke her leg catching a dive.

“I’ve caught dives before so I didn’t think anything of it,” she recounted. “As she jumped, I could tell something was off with it. It was either her head was hitting the floor or I was gonna dive and catch her. I dove and caught her. And the second I felt it, I had rolled over to get up because I had to crawl to where I was going, I felt my foot dangling from my leg…I could feel it detached. It was the grossest feeling that I’ve ever felt.”

Blue said she ended up snapping her fibula, her first serious injury in pro wrestling that required plates and screws being inserted into her foot. During the interview, she talked about her rehab process.

“It was so much harder than I anticipated. I didn’t realize how much you use your leg for,” she said. “Even just learning how to walk again was difficult. I was butt-scooting up stairs. And when [Fletcher] had to go to work, Robbie Eagles stayed with us for a little while.”

When she was asked if she considered ending her career due to the injury, she said it crossed her mind, but credited Fletcher with helping her get through those tough times.

“It’d be like four in the morning and there was times where I would have to lay with my leg straight because if I moved it, it was just in pain,” she said. “But this one [Fletcher] was the best because he’d be like no, tell those voices to shut up. You’re going to wrestle, you’re not going to just sit on this couch and mope. And yeah, he was by far the biggest supporter I could ever ask for.”

Blue will make her in-ring return on Wednesday’s Dynamite where she’ll be part of a four way AEW Women’s title eliminator match featuring champion Toni Storm, AZM, and Mina Shirakawa.
