Alexa Bliss Injury
According to WWE.com, Alexa Bliss sustained a shoulder injury during her match with Nia Jax and was reportedly helped to the back by WWE officials during Jax’s post-match promo.
At this time, there is no word on if the injury is legitimate or a way to get Bliss off television for the foreseeable future. Bliss just recently returned to in-ring action after cosmetic surgery a few weeks back.
