Injury Strikes Mercedes Mone In NJPW Resurgence Main Event, Shifting Championship Plans Dramatically

Mercedes Mone suffered a significant injury during the highly anticipated main event of NJPW Resurgence, where she faced off against Willow Nightingale to determine the inaugural NJPW Strong Women's Champion. Regrettably, Mone's misfortune occurred when she attempted a daring code red maneuver from the top rope but unfortunately slipped in the process. According to reliable wrestling news outlet Pwinsider, rumors circulated that she had sustained a broken ankle. Mone took to Twitter to share her thoughts on the injury. ## During an insightful discussion on Wrestling Observer Radio, renowned wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer shed light on the intended outcome of the match. Originally, Mone was slated to emerge victorious and claim the championship title. However, due to the untimely injury, plans had to be hastily modified. ## Meltzer remarked, "Essentially, she was planning to execute a code red maneuver from the top rope, correct? Yet, it seems she lost her footing and slipped." ## Bryan Alvarez chimed in, stating, "It wasn't intentional; it was an unfortunate slip. After reviewing the footage multiple times, it appeared that she had difficulty maintaining her balance. In an effort to prevent further harm, she instinctively jumped off the top rope since she likely sensed the impending mishap. Sadly, upon landing, she sustained an ankle injury." ## Meltzer sought clarification, asking, "So, was her ankle indeed fractured?" ## Alvarez replied, "Based on the information I received, it seems to be a broken ankle. However, I should exercise caution in assuming the details. It could potentially be another type of injury, but the prevailing word is that she suffered a broken ankle. Remarkably, she managed to continue wrestling after the incident. I must emphasize that these are unconfirmed reports. At present, Mercedes is not holding the championship title, while Willow rightfully claims the victory." ## Meltzer concluded, "Indeed, Mercedes was expected to secure the championship in this matchup." ## Alvarez expressed his uncertainty, stating, "I suppose so. I don't possess all the details regarding her contractual obligations or the number of scheduled appearances." ## Meltzer offered further insight, saying, "I can't assert with absolute certainty, but the information I received prior to the match indicated that she would emerge triumphant in the tournament. However, I must note that the concerned referee displayed visible distress. It was evident that the official was greatly alarmed by the situation." ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

VIDEO: Cody Rhodes Electrifies WWE Live Event, Calls Out Brock Lesnar And Roman Reigns

Marietta, May 21, 2023 -Cody Rhodes fell short in his valiant effort against Roman Reigns at the grand spectacle of WWE WrestleMania 39, as he vied for the prestigious Undisputed WWE Universal Title. The outcome left the WWE Universe astounded, as many fervently believed that Rhodes would dethrone the mighty "Tribal Chief." ## With remarkable swiftness, Rhodes swiftly shifted gears and embarked on a compelling rivalry with none other than the formidable Brock Lesnar. In a stunning turn of events at the exhilarating Backlash event, Rhodes triumphed over "The Beast Incarnate," only to find himself entangled in a captivating rematch scheduled for the forthcoming Night of Champions, set to unfold next Saturday. ## Following an electrifying street fight against the enigmatic Finn Balor during a recent enthralling house show, Rhodes seized the moment to call out both Reigns and Lesnar, seizing upon an accidental promotional mention of the eminent competitors by WWE. ## “My theory is that the reason that Roman Reigns didn't want to be here is because he is afraid of me. And that theory also extends to my opponent at the Night of Champions, Brock Lesnar. I'll make you a promise. The next time I come back here, my promise is this. I hope to have defeated Brock Lesnar not just once but twice. And I also hope that I'll be wearing some gold around my waist. Thank you, guys, very much," Rhodes stated. ## Cody Rhodes called out Brock and Roman at last night's #WWEFayetteville pic.twitter.com/tlcLuSB5d3— Andrew Ravens (@Andrew_Ravens) May 21, 2023 ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
