Former WWE star Alicia Fox, who now goes by her real name, Victoria Crawford, in TNA, suffered an unlucky injury right before the first-ever women’s Royal Rumble in 2018. Fox broke her tailbone during a rehearsal for the historic match, and was out of motion for a while, resulting in her removal from WWE’s Mixed Match Challenge, as well. Fox recently sat down with SoCal Val on WrestlingNewsCo’s YouTube channel and spoke in regards to the injury and her recovery.
“That healing process is admittedly where I feel I began being my full self and I didn’t even comprehend it,” Fox explained. “It became pretty comfortable to play a personality. In my experience, I felt I could work with any of the women and all the pieces else, and accidents occur. But, I remember in that moment, I wasn’t a lot as scared once they were attempting to work out whether we should always go to the hospital or whatnot… So, at that time, I wasn’t a lot scared, I used to be relieved. I used to be relieved since it was my first injury that I had. I had needed some time without work. I used to be broken. I used to be just drained.”
Fox said it wasn’t until the pandemic when there have been no shows that she began feeling “stiff as a board” in her back, but that is actually what brought her back to the ring. She explained it made her feel higher to take bumps, though she needed to persuade herself that it will help her on the road to recovery. She said she began rolling at Sam Shaw’s school and began to get the itch to wrestle again. Fox reached out to TNA, and she or he said she met with Tommy Dreamer, and the magic began to are available together.”
