“She Definitely Messed Up”: Fans Left Cringing After 26-Year-Old Female WWE Star Wrestles Through Horrible Ankle Injury

In pro wrestling, we have seen many wrestlers lose their careers and momentum because of accidental injuries in matches. The biggest one in recent history was when Finn Balor lost all his momentum on the main roster even after becoming the inaugural Universal Champion. So, fans were worried when this young champion also suffered an injury in her recent match.

In the main event of NXT Spring Break, the champion, Indi Hartwell, suffered a leg injury in the match. Because of an accident, it could have gone pretty bad for the champion, but she still held on to finish the match. But this injury seriously worried fans.

In the main event of NXT’s Spring Break, the NXT Women’s Championship was on the line. Hartwell, the new champion, faced both Tiffany Stratton and Roxanne Perez. When the champion and Perez were outside, Stratton climbed the top and performed a Swanton Bomb outside the ring. This resulted in Stratton landing directly on both of her competitors.

But accidentally, Hartwell’s leg got smashed in the collision. After Stratton got up after hitting the move, we saw that Hartwell immediately looked out at her leg and WWE’s medical team took her to the back. Even after that injury, Hartwell came back to the ring and finished the match, winning the title in the end.

While the match wasn’t the best match on the card, there was an unforeseen event that caused it to lag. These injuries and accidents are particularly notorious in modern pro wrestling as many stars are putting their bodies on the line to trend on social media.

Immediately after Hartwell’s injury started trending on Twitter, MJF tweeted concerning this, but he deleted it in a few seconds. In his tweet, which many in the comments think was about Hartwell’s recent injury. MJF’s warning to wrestlers all over is especially serious as there have been many terrifying things, both in WWE and AEW.

Nevertheless, fans expressed their concern for the NXT star’s horrid injury during the botched move.
