Both WWE Divas' Champion Charlotte and NXT competitor Emma suffered injuries at live events on Friday, but despite the frightening scenes in Minneapolis and Cleveland, neither diva will be missing any ring time. During a match with Becky Lynch in Minneapolis, MN, an errant knee caught Charlotte in the nose, drawing a significant amount of blood and forcing the official in charge to stop the match. Becky was reported to be visibly concerned as her rival was helped to the back, but the very next day, Charlotte tweeted that she was "all good." Sure enough, she was back in action Saturday night, defeating Becky at a live event in Cedar Rapids, IA. The same night that Charlotte was injured, Emma took on Asuka at an NXT event in Cleveland, OH. That match was also stopped prematurely, as the referee called for the bell after Asuka floored Emma with a stiff kick. The former main roster member was reportedly knocked out, with initial rumors even suggesting that she had suffered a stinger. Nevertheless, Emma was in good shape afterwards. She took to Twitter to thank fans for their concern, then wrestled NXT Women's Champion Bayley in Columbus, OH the following day.
