WWE wrestlers Carmella and Tatum Paxley both appeared to get injured at separate live events this weekend.

Carmella was wrestling Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair and Asuka on the 6 August Saturday Night's Main Event show in North Charleston, South Carolina. Unfortunately, she was apparently hurt when running towards the corner while Belair was attempting a backflip from the second rope, with their heads seemingly colliding on the way down.

Twitter's @TheKipUp captured the moment:-

Carmella rolled out of the ring immediately after the impact. Per attendee @sashasliv, officials put up the dreaded "X" symbol, signifying a suspected injury. Although the former SmackDown Women's Champion was able to walk away, she was, according to @sashasliv, shielding her eyes from the arena lights.

Paxley, meanwhile, was wrestling Sloane Jacobs for an NXT Live event on 6 August. The bout was rendered a no contest when Paxley hit her face on a ring post following a head kick, leaving her unable to continue.

The developmental prospect has since hit Twitter with an update, saying she'll be okay:-

Whether or not Carmella or Paxley's issues will necessitate time off is currently unknown. All the best to both as they recover.
