WWE Superstar Zoey Stark is facing a long road to recovery after sustaining a serious knee injury during a recent Money In The Bank qualifying match on RAW. The triple threat bout, which featured Rhea Ripley, Kairi Sane, and Stark, took an unexpected turn when Zoey went down midway through the match. She was visibly in pain and had to be helped to the back by WWE officials, leaving fans and fellow talent concerned.
While Rhea Ripley went on to win the match by pinning Kairi Sane, reports suggest that this wasn’t how the finish was originally planned. The match was scripted for Zoey Stark to take the pinfall—not Kairi. The sudden injury forced the producers to call an audible and adjust the finish on the fly.
Zoey Stark Sends Heartfelt Message After Injury
In the days following her injury, Zoey Stark took to social media to share an emotional message with fans. She expressed gratitude for the support she’s received and acknowledged the emotional toll of being sidelined.
“Wow the love and support means more to me than you’ll ever know! What hurts more than my knee is knowing I won’t be able to perform for all of you for a while. I LOVE what I do and I’m blessed to do this. As the saying goes, the comeback is greater than the setback. Love you guys #StarkMarks”
The tweet was met with an outpouring of support from fellow wrestlers and fans alike, who praised her resilience and positive mindset.
Zoey Stark Expected to Miss WrestleMania 42
Unfortunately, the latest update from Fightful Select confirms the worst for fans of Zoey Stark. The knee injury is reportedly significant, and Stark is not expected to return to in-ring action this year.
The report also states she will miss WrestleMania 42, which is scheduled for April 2026. This means Stark will be off television for at least 9 to 10 months, possibly longer depending on the recovery process.
What’s Next for Zoey Stark?
While it’s a crushing blow for Zoey Stark—who had built strong momentum on the main roster—her message makes it clear she’s not giving up. Known for her hard-hitting style and athleticism, Stark has quickly become a fan favorite, and her absence will be felt across WWE’s women’s division. But if her words are any indication, she’s already planning her comeback: “the comeback is greater than the setback.”
Fans will be watching closely for any updates, but for now, Zoey Stark begins the long journey back to the ring.
