Several Injuries Suffered During WWE NXT This Week

WWE NXT might have lost to AEW Dynamite by 6,000 viewers this week, but those Superstars still left it all in the ring. Some of them might be a bit damaged because of it.

WWE Now’s NXT injury update reports that Mia Yim is cleared for a match against Dakota Kai next week. There was a concern that a facial injury could be an issue, but medical attention was refused.

It is reported that Rhea Ripley suffered a “strained vocal box” after Shayna Baszler slapped her in a Kirifuda Clutch on NXT this week. Ripley’s NXT Women’s Title match is still on for December 18th.

Damian Priest could not work his scheduled match against Killian Dain this week. Instead, Pete Dunne came out and took Priest’s place. During that match, Dunne landed on the steps awkwardly and he hurt his knee. He is also suffering from rib pain and is considered “day to day.”
