Bayley appeared to seriously injure herself at a WWE live event Salisbury, Maryland last night.

'The Role Model' fell awkwardly on her right knee during a WWE Women's Championship fatal four-way match against current titleholder Asuka and likely SummerSlam contenders Charlotte Flair and Bianca Belair.

After a short break in the action, Asuka and Charlotte fought as Bayley was was assisted out of the ring and the match. The moment was captured on camera by YouTuber Matt Kempke and shared on Twitter in huge number, moving Bayley herself to provide an update with a picture of her icing the bad wheel.

Bayley injured the same knee in 2021, suffering an ACL tear that kept her out until SummerSlam 2022. She returned as the founder member and leader of Damage CTRL alongside Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai, but the group could be crumbling following the former's recent Money In The Bank victory.

Sky wasn't in the contest where Bayley picked up the injury, but has been teased as a possible next WWE Women's Champion on the blue brand.

Fingers crossed the nature of the tweet reveals the full extent and she's able to make a speedy return to action.
