WWE News: Update On Emma Injury, Pulled Off From UK Tour
May 10, 2017 at 1:38 PM
As reported earlier, WWE Superstar Emma suffered an injury during a house show, a couple of days ago. A match was ongoing between the team of Sasha Banks, Mickie James & Bayley against Emma, Nia Jax and the Raw women’s champion, Alexa Bliss.
During the match, Sasha Banks went for her pendant double kneebars from the middle rope to Emma. The Boss might have botched the move to a certain extent causing a nasty landing for Emma. She could not get up after the move, the referees had to call off the match.
They called up the medical staff present in the arena giving the X-sign meaning that Emma was injured, legit. Later, she was helped to the backstage area for further evaluation.
Looks like Emma just sustained a shoulder injury at #WWELiverpool. Landed badly in the corner. Had to be helped away. Hopefully she is ok. pic.twitter.com/s7jpe5lsxP

Now, since WWE was in the midst of their United Kingdom tour, no detailed checkup was possible for her. So, we did not receive the extent of her injury or the exact area where she suffered the concussion.
Now, an update from her Instagram account suggests that she was sent back to the US in the middle of the UK tour. She will be receiving further evaluation on the injury. It also means that the bad landing has caused some serious damage to her back portion.
In case you don’t know, Emma suffered a serious injury back at this time, last year. She was forced to undergo a back surgery, afterwards. If she picks up another fracture on the same spot, it might turn out to be devastating for her.
Just a little unlucky ?
Thanks for all the messages. Waiting to see what it is… ???

She has been reserved for quite a long time with her returning Emmalina gimmick which turned out to be yet another disastrous move by the WWE creative. After waiting for almost six long months she returned the night after Wrestlemania just to pick up this injury which might shelve her from live TV, again.
This would be very unfortunate considering the young career of this female superstar who has never been given the spotlight despite having the tools. Now that she has picked up a couple of injuries it might push her to the bad books of the creative, as well.
