WWE has yet to confirm this but fans at the live event in North Charleston, South Carolina are reporting that Carmella appeared to have been injured during her match.
Bianca Belair defended her Raw Women’s Championship against Asuka and Carmella in a Triple Threat Match but something happened early in the match with Carmella and she didn’t wrestle.
A fan who was at the event said on Twitter that Asuka and Belair stalled after Carmella got out of the ring but shortly thereafter, the referee threw up the “X” sign to signal that Carmella was hurt.
Per reports from the arena, the injury happened when Carmella hit her head in the corner of the ring as Belair tried to do a backflip. The good news is that Carmella was able to walk to the back under her own power. @sashasliv wrote on Twitter: “she got up on her own to walk away which is good, but they were like shielding her eyes from the bright lights.”
We send our best wishes to Carmella and we hope for a speedy recovery.
carmella got out of the ring at the start of the match and wouldn’t get back in, so asuka and bianca kept calling her chicken and did a funny little chicken dance so the audience keeps chanting chicken to carmella 😠#WWENorthCharleston pic.twitter.com/JhSKZ3mOi0
