WWE’s Zoey Stark has been out of action since May of this year. During a Triple Threat match between Kairi Sane and Rhea Ripley, Stark landed wrong in the ring, resulting in a knee injury. Knee injuries generally can take up to a year to recover from.
In a report by BodySlamNet, Stark is on the road to a mid-2026 return.
Stark’s recovery has been going well and the initial timeline for her return is currently somewhere in the middle of 2026.
WWE officials are still very high on her and have been talking about the direction of her character upon return as a potential babyface.
Stark will likely have to be repackaged into the show upon her return as both of her former Pure Fusion Collective faction-mates, Sonya Deville and Shayna Baszler are no longer with the company.
