Tuesday’s episode of WWE NXT, with the special Spring Breakin’ title, featured a segment where Dani Palmer and Sol Ruca were saying their goodbyes.
As Ruca walks off, a mystery figure pulls her out of the front door and beats her up. This led to Palmer running out before someone told her to get some help.
This is very unfortunate timing for Ruca, who has reportedly impressed WWE officials after a strong run on the developmental brand.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that Ruca is out with a torn ACL.
Bryan Alvarez: “They also had a Solo Ruca segment where somebody did the phantom attack because apparently she’s injured.”
Meltzer: “She tore her ACL.”
Alvarez: “Tore her ACL.”
Meltzer: “There’s a lot of injuries there [NXT]. A lot of people are blaming strength training for the injuries. They’re doing heavy lifts as opposed to strengthening surrounding muscles to prevent injuries…..People have brought up to me there’s a lot of injuries, especially on the women’s side. There’s a lot of women’s injuries right now in NXT.”
