Browsing: Injured

WWE Superstars unfortunately deal with injuries on a regular basis, and while there is no good time for such a setback, it can be devastating to be put on the shelf during a championship reign. A certain popular Superstar is facing the potential end to two championship reigns as WWE has just confirmed an injury.

Sol Ruca is currently 193 days into her first reign as WWE Women’s Speed Champion, and 185 days into her first reign as NXT Women’s North American Champion. Now it appears she may have to relinquish the titles due to an injury suffered on last Friday’s live SmackDown episode, where she and Zaria failed to dethrone Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.

There have been rumors on a potential injury to Ruca since last week’s 12-minute tag team showdown on SmackDown. At one point, the 26-year-old had an awkward landing after diving to ringside. She was later helped backstage by Flair, Bliss, and Zaria.

WWE will present tonight’s NXT episode as the go-home show for Saturday’s Halloween Havoc PLE from Arizona. It was previously announced that the first-ever Halloween Havoc to air on Netflix will feature Blake Monroe challenging Sol Ruca for the NXT Women’s North American Championship. The former Mariah May of AEW won a recent Battle Royal to earn her first title shot in WWE.

Ruca took to X today to announce that she will be in the ring on NXT to address what she called “recent occurrences,” fueling speculation on Ruca needing to take time off.

“Well guys, due to some recent occurrences, I need to address the NXT Universe. So, I’ll see you guys tonight in the ring on NXT,” Sol Ruca said in the video below.

See ya tonight âš¡ï¸ðŸ’€ðŸŒ´ pic.twitter.com/LUEv7Wj9WV

Stephanie Vaquerâ€s WWE RAW appearance may have ended in victory—but thereâ€s growing concern that she didnâ€t leave the ring unscathed.

According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Vaquer may have suffered a knee injury during her match against Roxanne Perez at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento. During the post-match brawl involving Raquel Rodriguez and Perez, Vaquer attempted a springboard and slipped on the ropes, grabbing her knee immediately afterward. Bryan Alvarez broke the news during his review of the match:

“Stephanie and Roxanne… overall, it was pretty good, but they had a lot of problems—and it was mostly Stephanie was having a… she had a rough night.â€

Dave Meltzer then added, “And she may have hurt her knee.†Alvarez elaborated on the moment that raised red flags:

“They do the match, and Roxanne ends up getting hit with the Angelâ€s Wings and Lung Blower for the pin. And then they do the thing where Raquel and Roxanne jump them and double team them. Nikki Bellaâ€s music hits and Stephanie went for a springboard and she slipped on the ropes. And man, she grabbed her knee and she was walking, but she was limping.â€

Meltzer confirmed the visible limp, “She was limping.†As for the backstage promo that aired shortly after the match, Alvarez explained that while Vaquer appeared to be walking fine, thereâ€s uncertainty about when that segment was filmed:

“They did do a backstage promo [later in the show], which conceivably could have been taped before the match. Hopefully… well, I mean, she was moving all right in the sense, but in the ring, she was moving all right but limping. So, I mean, I donâ€t know. But the way she landed, it wasnâ€t a good landing.â€

Vaquerâ€s team has not issued a formal update, and WWE hasnâ€t acknowledged any injury publicly, but the Observerâ€s report has sparked concern across the fanbase. With Vaquer now closely tied to Nikki Bella on television, any injury could potentially impact upcoming storylines.

Do you think WWE should play it safe and pull Stephanie Vaquer from in-ring action if her knee is injured? Or should she fight through it if the damage is minimal? Sound off in the comments and let us know how youâ€d handle the situation.

Infamous WWE star reflects on his recent release.

Known for his work on WWE LFG (Legends and Future Greats) Sexy ‘BJ Ray’ was recently released from his contract by the Stamford-based promotion. Not in the good books of the mentors on the show, Ray was also recovering from a serious injury when the promotion decided to part ways with him.

Soon after the news of his release became public, BJ Ray shared an update on X(Twitter) and reflected on his WWE journey and shared his gratitude to the promotion.

WHAT A JOURNEY ðŸŒ

Well obviously I had to have pissed somebody off lmao!

I would like to take this moment to address you guys as Brayden Jesse Ray. First and foremost, I have to give the glory to my lord and savior Jesus Christ, who had given me this opportunity. Secondly, I would like to thank Hunter, Shawn, & Matt Bloom (as well as all the
@WWE
coaches & staff) that were involved with this entire process. The WWE Performance Center is truly a unique place filled with many gifted individuals and unlimited support.

As soon as I stepped out of my uber at my WWE tryout, the SexyBJRay effect was in full play. I had a strategy upon filming WWE: NEXT GEN, to start building one of the most over exaggerated versions of myself, to give the wrestling industry a HEEL like theyâ€ve never seen before.

And quite frankly, it arguably was one of the greatest rookie runs of all time. In a matter of months, whether hate or love, I won the WWE fans over and they were extremely invested. Without ever having a debut match on live
@WWENXT
tv, I have become one of the most recognized names in the brand and industry. From getting swarmed at WWE World in Las Vegas to taking pictures with fans in every airport I walk into, I have been able to build a movement with my hard work and dedication.

The hours behind the scenes, editing social media content, training, and reflecting on my character work, I feel it has all paid off.

There have been many challenges along the way, but I can only control what I can only control. Obviously this release is a big bummer (especially when you have no idea what you could have done different), but the only option in my opinion is an attitude of gratitude.

All I can do is keep pushing, & put it in Godâ€s hands. Iâ€m healing strong and will continue to rehab my shoulder until Iâ€m 100%. And the biggest SHOUTOUT & THANKS to my fans who made it all worthwhile.

And now, Brayden Jesse Ray is back on sabbatical and SexyBJRay has a few words. As my good friend
@TheNotoriousMMA
once said, “Iâ€d like to take this chance to apologize to absolutely nobodyâ€. What youâ€ve seen was just the trailer… get ready for the whole movie ðŸ¿

and p.s. “Ayo you got Snapchat?!â€

With no confirmed in-ring appearances scheduled for BJ Ray, the youngster recently reached out to Tony Khan for a chance.

Released WWE Star BJ Ray Ray Reaches Out To Tony Khan For A Chance In AEW

Soon after his release and a successful surgery, ‘Sexy’ BJ Ray recently reached out to Tony Khan on X(Twitter) for a shot in AEW.

@TonyKhan Your boy is ready… call me – The Ratings Machine (aka SexyBJRay),â€

While he remains absent from AEW television, “Switchblade” Jay White has also been silent on social media, especially X. The latter changed when White returned to his timeline with a new one-word post.

“Ready?” he wrote on Thursday afternoon, with over 600 comments coming in the hours following. Most of the replies expressed excitement for what White’s post could mean, whether that be a comeback to in-ring action or something else.

White’s last post on X came in July, when he replied to a fan calling for him to win a singles championship in AEW with a winking gif. Before that, he hadn’t been active on the platform since March.

Ready?

White has also been sidelined from action since March 2025, when he last wrestled Kevin Knight on “AEW Collision.” Sometime after, White reportedly sustained a hand injury that would require surgery. Months later, reports indicated that White was also battling a shoulder injury, though it was unclear as to whether he’d undergo surgery for that as well.

Prior to hurting his hand, White was slated to compete in the 2025 Men’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. After a storyline attack at the hands of the Death Riders signaled White’s exit from television, however, Knight took his place and faced Will Ospreay in the opening round.Â

Under the AEW-ROH banner, Knight is a former AEW World Trios and ROH Six-Man Tag Team Champion. His tag partner Juice Robinson returned to the ring in July 2025 after being sidelined with an injury of his own.

Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez withdrew from the Argentina squad during the latest international break with an apparent knee injury.

The combative midfielder has played in every Premier League game so far for the Blues, and was an integral part of the group that won the Club World Cup in the summer.

Fernandez, who signed for Chelsea from Benfica for £106.8m in 2023, has enjoyed a fruitful start to the 25/26 season – scoring three times and registering two assists so far.

Chelsea had gone three league games without a win before surprising reigning champions Liverpool at Stamford Bridge last time out.

It is thought that the midfielder “had always planned to miss the friendly match with Puerto Rico this week and had planned to see family during his leave”, according to BBC’s Chelsea reporter Nizaar Kinsella.

Considering the amount of football he has played over the last year, including during the summer off-season at the Club World Cup, it seems the decision was made with a view to managing his load.

It’s Forest up next for Chelsea on Saturday lunchtime, a side that haven’t won since the opening day of the season.

The shocking implosion of The Vision faction on Monday Night Raw was reportedly a creative decision made as a result of a legitimate injury suffered by World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins. According to a new report from PWInsider.com, the angle that saw Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed turn on their leader was executed to write Rollins off of television so he can recover from a shoulder injury.

According to the PWInsider report, the belief within WWE is that Rollins injured his left shoulder during his main event Champion vs. Champion match against Cody Rhodes at the WWE Crown Jewel Premium Live Event this past Saturday. The injury is thought to have occurred when he landed awkwardly while performing a coast-to-coast dive.

While there has been no official announcement from WWE on the nature or severity of the injury, Rollins was seen wearing a sling in a photo with a fan after the event. The on-screen angle to write him off television was a major one. The main event of the October 13th episode of Raw saw CM Punk win a match to become the number one contender for Rollins’s championship.

The post-match celebration was cut short when Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, Rollins’s own stablemates in The Vision, launched a assault on Rollins, with the show going off the air as Paul Heyman appeared to align himself with the two stars.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson is inactive for Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals after suffering an injury during pre-game warmups, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero added that Richardson suffered an eye injury while “doing band work,” which caused him to be demoted to QB3 behind Daniel Jones and Riley Leonard.

Richardson has been plagued by health issues since Indianapolis selected him with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, appearing in just 15 regular-season games across the first two years of his budding career.

He previously suffered a dislocated right pinky in the first quarter of the Colts’ preseason matchup with the Baltimore Ravens on Aug. 7. Richardson went on to lose a position battle with Jones ahead of the 2025 season, entering the start of the year as a backup option.

He was limited to a mere four appearances as a rookie in 2023 due to a concussion as well as an AC joint sprain in his shoulder that ultimately required surgery.

Richardson was able to return for the start of his sophomore campaign in 2024, but ended up missing time with an oblique injury before he was later benched for Joe Flacco.

He struggled through the air last season, completing just 47.7 percent of his throws for 1,814 yards and eight touchdowns to go along with 12 interceptions. Richardson also rushed for 499 yards and six scores.

Indianapolis hasn’t been able to consistently rely on Richardson to start his NFL career largely due to injuries, and it appears as though health issues are affecting him once again in 2025.

A current NXT Champion might have suffered a live event injury.

The development brand held a live event in KEMBA Live! in Columbus, Ohio, this Thursday night, featuring names such as DIY, Trick Williams, and Candice LaRae in action. One of the matches on the card saw the current NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne teaming with her Fatal Influence partner Fallon Henley to take on the duo of Sol Ruca and Zaria.

According to fans in attendance, Jayne grabbed her quad towards the ending of the bout and tagged out of the match. Ruca and Zaria then picked up the victory in the bout. After the bell, the referee threw up the X sign, indicating a legitimate injury, and the NXT Champion had to be helped to the back by the medical staff.

The same show also featured the WWE in-ring return of Omos after more than a year. He defeated Lexis King in a singles match at the show. The Giant had not competed under the WWE banner since the April 5, 2024 episode of SmackDown where he was part of the Andre The Giant memorial battle royal.

Not much is known about Jayne’s status at the moment so it’s hard to say if she’ll be missing any time from the ring or what the future holds for the Women’s title.

SEScoops wishes a speedy recovery to Jacy Jayne.

Another WWE star injured?

Injuries have always been a part of sports and pro-wrestling. Often, WWE stars and pro-wrestlers across other promotions suffer serious injuries while wrestling or training. Recently, Kota Ibushi of AEW fell victim to a serious injury, and now, Jacy Jayne of NXT might be next on the list.

Recently, while performing at a live house show on October 9th, Jayne apparently suffered a leg injury, which required the referee to stop the match. The NXT Women’s Champion was soon helped to the back by medical personnel.

The incident took place during a tag team match between Jayneâ€s Fatal Influence and Zaruca (Sol Ruca and Zaria). Soon, videos on X(Twitter) emerged showing Jayne limping on her way to the back and displaying possible signs of a serious injury. Also, another Reddit user noted that,

Towards the end of the match Jacy grabbed at her quad and tagged out of the match quickly after. Ref threw the x up after the match and when she tried to walk back under her own power had to be assisted by WWE medical to the backâ€.

BREAKING: Jacy Jayne limping backstage after that brutal match! The X was called immediately. Prayers up ðŸ #WWENXT#NoMercypic.twitter.com/8VkbC4bHy1

Soon enough after the moment became a talking point, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful shared an update on social media and noted,

Referees came out and held up the “X” for Jacy Jayne at an NXT live event, indicating an injury. Hopefully all is well.”

Multiple fans on social media also noted that the ‘X’ sign was also used for Fallon Henley after she took a rough facial bump on an assisted Sol Snatcher.

The infamous ‘X’ sign is a dreaded referee signal and is only used by the match official during a serious injury.

WWE Jacy Jayne Was Enjoying The Run Of Her Career

Earlier this year, Jayne defeated Stephanie Vaquer to win the NXT Women’s Championship, and later also won the TNA Knockouts Title. Although she later lost it to Masha Slamovich.

One of the leading women’s figures in NXT, the potential injury could ruin the sensational momentum she has been carrying now. An important figure in the brand right now, Jayne recently led Team NXT during their battle against Team TNA on Showdown.

While nothing official has been shared on the incident yet, we at ITR Wrestling wish Jacy Jayne a safe recovery.

Rodri of Manchester City (Photo by Justin Setterfield/Getty Images) MADRID: Midfielder Rodri has been dropped from Spain’s squad for upcoming World Cup qualifying games because of an injury sustained when playing for Manchester City in the Premier League this weekend. Spain said Monday that Rodri will not play against Georgia and Bulgaria during the international break. The Spanish soccer federation said it made the decision after receiving the results of medical tests conducted by Man City. Spain is already missing young Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal because of a groin ailment. Rodri was forced off with a suspected hamstring problem in the first half of Man City’s 1-0 win at Brentford on Sunday, the latest injury blow to hit last year’s Ballon d’Or winner. Rodri said after the game he “felt a little bit in the hamstring but it seems like it’s not that much.” “I stretched the leg a little bit, a bit like in the Euros final. I stretched a little bit but it’s part of the process,” he said. “I don’t feel that I feel tired muscle-wise, I feel fresh but the most important thing is it’s not that big.” Rodri said “the good thing is the break so it will be even better in this sense to recover these days and hopefully I can be in the next game.” Rodri looked forlorn as he walked gingerly off the field in the 21st minute, moments after slumping to the ground while clutching the back of his right leg. He was replaced by Nico Gonzalez. Rodri sustained ACL damage in September last year that kept him out for eight months. He missed the start of this season after picking up another injury, reportedly to his groin, at the Club World Cup and has complained of knee pain in recent weeks.
