• Nia Jax Fined By WWE, Update On Rey Mysterio

On her return to RAW last night, Nia Jax got into a heated confrontation with Shayna Baszler. She hit a referee with a Samaon Drop, just weeks after getting into an argument with referee John Cone in a match against Asuka.

WWE has fined Jax and issued the following statement about it:

“Nia Jax has been fined an undisclosed amount for inappropriate contact with multiple WWE officials in the aftermath of her match against Shayna Bazler on Monday’s Raw, WWE.com has learned.

The Irresistible Force and The Queen of Spades battle to a double count-out, then steamrolled over security who tried to separate them. Jax capped off the melee by crushing a WWE official with a Samoan Drop.”

This is obviously just an angle to proceed the storyline between Jax and Baszler.

WWE also provided an update on the injured Rey Mysterio, and it seems like things are getting better for him.

Below is what they posted:

“WWE Digital has learned that Rey Mysterio remains at a local medical facility and is responding well to treatment.

After the sickening conclusion of the Eye for an Eye Match Sunday night, Charly Caruso provided an update on the condition of Mysterio. Mysterio was rushed to a local medical facility to be treated for a potential globe luxation.

Medical experts were optimistic that if the optic nerve is not severed and there is not too much strain on the blood vessels and nerves that connect the eye to the rest of the head, there’s a chance Mysterio can maintain his vision.”

UPDATE: WWE Digital has learned that @reymysterio’s vision is improving slowly each day, and that his optic nerve is intact, completely secured and back in its socket. A timeline for Mysterio’s return to the ring is unknown at this time. https://t.co/YXoSjacnf5
