After suffering a severe ankle injury, Mone was in immense pain, which was clearly reflected in her defeat. But fans appreciated the star for her impressive performance throughout the bout. However, after the fight, she needed assistance to go backstage. Other superstars like Tamina helped her when Sasha Banks was in tons of pain. This scene made fans concerned about her injury even more.
A recent Fightful Select’s report sheds light on her current health update, which does not appear great. The report states that as per the promotion, The CEO’s injury is a severe sprain without a break. However, a contrary opinion has come from those close to the superstar. As per them, there’s definitely a sprain and the fear of a break.
The report further talked about the 31-year-old’s visible swelling, which spoke about the severe injury itself. But everyone involved is still waiting for more clarity on the matter. And due to the injury, there’s also no talk of her booking in any imminent matches.
All of this couldn’t pull back Banks from coming strong as usual in the public eye. Her words must have given some assurance to her fans as they pray for her speedy recovery.
