I hate that the only way stale wrestlers can get time off and be refreshed as characters is for them to get f***ing seriously injured
There is something seriously wrong with that.

On the replay it looks like she grabs her arm after the Samoan drop and then was almost crying outside holding it. I saw that as well, I was thinking that was just her selling, though. Before the finish she was favoring her arm. Noticed that after she did moves she grabs at it, I hope it not serious but the whole match she was thrown around a lot and took some bad looking bumps. Nia fall looked bad but Alexa took those rag doll bumps and some of those landings look bad.

It looked and sounded like Nia was calling the spots in that match and that bothers me because neither of them are good enough to do that. Yikes. Those two really should still be getting their matches planned out beforehand, and going through some rehearsed spots. I hope this is just a kayfabe injury, to further Alexa's "Nia is a bully" shtick, but if she is hurt, I agree with the sentiment that a break from TV could be good for her.

I noticed Bliss keeping her arm elevated a bit after DDT'ing Nia on the steps. Don't know if that's where it happened or not.

The WWE really needs to figure out a way of rotating guys and girls out of the 'front line' every few months, to give their talent time to rest, rehabilitate and perhaps refill their creativity meters. It would also keep a lot of wrestlers fresh in the fans' eyes, and shorten feuds to more sensible proportions, with less match repetition and opportunities for more guys to prove themselves. I'm not saying this would prevent all in-match injuries, but it would be better in every other respect.

How exactly does she have this much clout anyways? Out of all the NXT women - she would rank last in the entertaining side. Well I guess she's above Bayley and Sasha Banks now at least after their disastrous main roster runs. I'd disagree, and I'm even pretty ambivalent toward her. But she's easily one of the best mic workers they have woman or man.

Maybe if she's legit hurt there will be some Moment of Bliss segments in the style of RNN. Was just about to post this same thought.

Hate to say it, but if she is hurt, this is a pretty convenient time for it. She can come back after a few months fresh without being lost in the shuffle

Yeah, she may not be great in the ring, but she's legitimately really good on the mic, does good character work, and isn't that bad in-ring compared to some.

Especially given the roster is so immensely stacked that they could do with rotating people in and out to freshen their characters up.

According to Meltzer (via Reddit), the injury is legit and came from one of Nia’s biel throws.
I’ve said it before but goddamn Nia is terrible.

Nia has been doing this for years and is still as dangerous as ever.

I heard Nia went backstage, asked Alexa to giv her a double high five, then walked away laughing maniacally. What a monster.

Lotta chat in this thread about Nia injuring a bunch of people. Do we have a list of people she's actually documented as injuring rather than 'that looked really unsafe'? Other than Alexa this time.

It upsets that some casual fans actually look at her a as figure of inspiration. Storyline-wise, Nia was mocked for being bigger than the other girls. Not in the muscular sense. In real life, people are mocked for their appearance, among other things, and that is not something that should be taken. Nia is very much so, an inspiring character. It is very unfortunate, that Alexa got injures, but I would not be surprised, if Nia was upset, about that.
