*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”
