WWE Superstar Zoey Stark legitimately injured herself during her match against Kairi Sane and Rhea Ripley in their Money in the Bank qualifier match on Monday Night Raw.
Stark was attempting to hit Sane with her patented springboard dropkick but landed incorrectly on her leg, causing her knee to bend awkwardly.
After being checked by the ring doctors, Stark attempted to walk backstage before being carried back.
There has been no official diagnosis announced by Stark or WWE.
