"Love to see it" - Fans delighted as WWE Superstar returns from injury after 9 months on SmackDown

The May 19 episode of Friday Night SmackDown featured some big moments as WWE continued the build to Night of Champions. However, one significant development that went under the radar saw NXT Superstar Yulisa Leon return to the ring after nine months out.Leon teamed with Valentina Feroz on SmackDown, as they got squashed by Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn. It was a showcase match for the NXT Women's Tag Team Champions, who were recently drafted to the blue brand. Nevertheless, a few WWE fans on Twitter did point out Yulisa Leon's return.Her previous match came on the August 2, 2022, episode of NXT, following which the 27-year-old tore a ligament in her knee. Leon last appeared on the September 13 episode of WWE's developmental brand, confirming her ACL injury. She will hope to gain some momentum following her return to the ring.The reactions to her in-ring return were mainly positive, although a couple of fans feel Yulisa Leon should have been treated better in her first match back. After all, she and Valentina Feroz were booked to put over Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn.Check out some of them:jay@TOXlCATTRACTlONYulisa Leon on the main roster??
