*SPOILERS* NXT Superstar Addresses Injury At Last Night’s Mae Young Classic Tapings

Published

*WARNING – If you don’t want any spoilers, back out now*

In case you missed it, WWE was back at Full Sail University last night for the second day of tapings for this year’s Mae Young Classic. The Semi-Finals of the tournament saw two NXT Superstars clashing as Rhea Ripley took on Tegan Nox for a spot in the Finals at WWE Evolution in October. If you remember, Tegan (formerly known as Nixon Newell) was scheduled for last year’s Mae Young Classic, however suffered a torn ACL and was forced to withdraw.

During the match, Nox went for an outside dive onto Ripley that did not go as planned, as she suffered a leg injury that forced the match to stop briefly. Tegan attempted to fight through it and the match continued, however it didn’t last long as she screamed out in pain after taking a dropkick. The match was quickly stopped and awarded to Ripley, with Tegan needing medical attention and help to get to the back. While no specifics on the injury have yet to be revealed, the early word is that she may have suffered a broken leg.

Due to this, Tegan has received an outpouring of support on social media and responded on Twitter very early this morning with the following:

“This isn’t how I planned to finish the Mae Young Classic in any form but the last 2 days have been the best experience of my life, despite the obvious! My match with Rhea is something I’ve wanted for a while because, damn that girls is talented (even if she is very moody *laughing emoji*). Freak accidents happen, it’s part of the job but to hear that she had a killer match with one of the best wrestlers in the world, Io Shirai made my heart swell with happiness *hearts*.

This is more mentally draining than it is physically but you can guarantee that this isn’t going to keep me down! I have the best friends and support system a girl could ever ask for!

I worked so hard for over a year to be able to compete in this year’s MYC, so you know for a fact, I’m fighting back stronger than ever!

Every message I’ve received tonight on twitter, Facebook, Instagram, text etc has been absolutely overwhelming! The fact that my hospital room was full of people really warms my heart and honestly meant the absolute world to me!

I said it before and I’ll say it again, everything happens for a reason, so no matter what the full extent of the injury is, I’ll be back and I’ll be Shinier than ever”

Did your picks win points?

The AEW Continental Classic is underway, with almost everyone competing. Check in here if you haven’t seen the winners and losers of week 1!

Here are your Gold League standings!

  • Jon Moxley: 1-0, 3 points
  • Swerve Strickland: 1-0, 3 points
  • Jay White: 1-0, 3 points
  • Rush: 0-1, 0 points
  • Mark Briscoe: 0-1, 0 points.
  • Jay Lethal: 0-1, 0 points

 

Here are your Blue League standings!

  • Brody King: 1-0, 3 points
  • Claudio Castagnoli: 1-0, 3 points
  • Daniel Garcia: 0-1, 0 points
  • Eddie Kingston: 0-1, 0 points
  • Bryan Danielson: Yet to Compete
  • Andrade El Idolo: Yet to Compete

 

My Thoughts:

Nothing too crazy, nothing too wild, this tournament only just got started. The only disappointing point is that they could not get Bryan “cleared to compete” Saturday night. Not sure how much of that is shoot given the bad eye, but this was kinda the problem of wanting him in the tournament over tons of other choices. Bryan wants to face Okada for WrestleKingdom 18, how is Bryan supposed to do that at his best if he’s also gonna be in a round robin, doing five top level matches in about as many weeks? And it takes away from Andrade being able to do something. Also a little surprised we didn’t even hear from Andrade on Saturday.

Now as we heard on Saturday, round two’s matches are set. Gold League will see Mark Briscoe VS Rush, White VS Swerve, and of course, Moxley VS Lethal. Nice variety there, a couple 0-1 guys facing off, as well as two 1-0 guys, and then 1-0 VS 0-1. No offense to Lethal, but he feels like an 0-2 going up against Moxley. Hard to call the other ones but that’s the fun of it. Meanwhile, Blue League sees Brody VS Claudio in a showdown to be 2-0, then Bryan and Andrade finally jump in, Bryan against Eddie and Andrade against Garcia. Sadly, feels like Eddie and Garcia are going 0-2, no way Tony Khan is booking Bryan and Andrade to lose their first shots.

In fact, that could be half the reason they did wait on those two, that’s almost too good for just a first round opener. But I still would’ve done it, same as NJPW does stuff like that for round robins, which this is all modeled after anyway.
