Below are some top WWE & AEW news stories of the day.
• There was an injury at tonight’s NXT Live Event in Dade City, Florida.
Cora Jade, who faced NXT Women’s Champion Lyra Valkyria in the main event, had her match stopped. Fans in attendance speculate a potential knee injury, though it is unconfirmed by WWE.
Some attendees mentioned a fake knee injury spot early in the match, but later, Jade landed awkwardly on her leg, leading to a botched pin by Valkyria.
The severity of the situation seems significant based on visual evidence.
