Ex-World Champion Suffers Injury Before WWE SmackDown; Spotted On Wheelchair

WWE was dealt a major blow before Friday Night SmackDown tonight as a former World Champion suffered a seemingly major injury on the Road to WrestleMania.

The women’s division has already been dealing with a few injuries to major superstars, with the likes of Chelsea Green and Piper Niven out on the sidelines, while Bianca Belair remains a long-term absentee.

Recent main roster call-up, Jordynne Grace, was being positioned to be one of the top stars on WWE SmackDown since being moved up to the blue brand and even challenged Jade Cargill for the Women’s Championship.
