During her match with Nia Jax on the July 31 edition of Raw, Bayley suffered an injury to her right shoulder.

The former Raw Women's Champion was evaluated by medical personnel, but the official diagnosis was inconclusive due to the amount of swelling involved. Bayley has been told to rest the shoulder until next week, at which point doctors are hopeful that the swelling will have sufficiently gone down so that she may be reevaluated and a firm verdict can be reached.

"Everything just tensed up around it,” Bayley told WWE.com shortly after her match on Monday night. “I've never had an injury like this before, so I can't really know what it is. I guess we're gonna see."

Dr. Chris Amann told WWE.com, “We’ve determined the injury is shoulder-related, and she will be going under further diagnostic testing later this week to determine the extent of the injury and also establish a timetable for recovery.”

Check back with WWE.com for more details on Bayley’s injury as they become available.

Ahh shit. Hopefully it's nothing too serious.

It's too bad she had to shoulder the load in that match.

That explains it. Damn, this is hard to look at. Poor Bayley.

She had to have legitimately stung herself you don't sell to the right side.

Also explains the missed elbow she was legit hurt and didn't want to make it worse.

Hope its a quick and easy thing to recover

This is a reminder of just how dangerous pro wrestling is. Bayley is one of the best, and it was a simple bump, and she still got hurt. Stuff like this makes me really appreciate what these people go through for our enjoyment.

Does Nia Jax have a reputation of being a sloppy worker or was this just a freak accident?

It also shows again that people could get badly hurt just on the "simple" stuff. This is a back bump she's probably done thousands of times, and that's what does her in, not a big complicated suplex or flip.

Looks like a freak accident judging the gif. Man wrestling is crazy.

I'd say she's sloppy, yes (if not, she's definitely regressed since NXT), but this is the first instance I can recall of her being involved in a major injury. That said, this isn't off of anything Jax herself did.

I'm not really a Nia fan at all, but that wasn't on her. This was a freak accident.

Nia just did a regular shoulder tackle, Bayley took a regular back bump, and she somehow got injured from it.

She is very sloppy.

But this was a freak accident.

this was Bayley hitting the mat just right (or wrong I suppose) to mess up her shoulder.

Remember Neville was out for months because he destroyed his leg trying a baseball slide.

There's literally nothing Nia could have done to cause that.

When taking a shoulder block the bumper is fully in charge of the fall.

Or Luke Harper blowing out a knee working over a guy in the corner. Or Bray Wyatt hurting his leg in a collar and elbow tieup. John Cena can get up just fine from being dumped on his head, but tears a pectoral from a hip toss.

The injury or the glaring elbow drop botch?

Yup just like when Neville broke his ankle on a baseball slide in the match against Jericho and missed Mania because of it

Yea, the Neville slide was the first thing I thought of in regards to freak injuries on simple things you've done 1000 times over

Not to mention RVD's injury back in the day.


As for Nia Jax, her only fault was dropping that elbow when it was totally obvious she should've improvised. But that's the least of the issues here.

The injury. I don't care how bad Nia's elbow drop botch was, when someone's hurt that's immediately something far worse.
