On Tuesday afternoon, there was speculation online that Bayley had suffered a shoulder injury during her match with Nia Jax. As you can see below, WWE has confirmed the news and they have posted a video of her being checked out backstage.
There’s no word on how long she will be out of action but, with less than 3 weeks until SummerSlam, it looks like her Raw Championship match with Alexa Bliss is in jeopardy.
She was told to rest her shoulder until next week and the hope is that the swelling will have gone down enough so that doctors can give a timetable her recovery time. “We’ve determined the injury is shoulder-related, and she will be going under further diagnostic testing later this week to determine the extent of the injury and also establish a timetable for recovery,” Dr. Chris Amann said in a statement to WWE.com.
Earlier we noted that another top WWE star may have been injured on Smackdown Live. For more on that story, click here.
