Back when she was a dominant NXT singles champion rather than a WWE tag champ who loses a lot, Shayna Baszler kayfabe injured several opponents by stomping on their prone elbow.
The Queen of Spades used that old move when she finally broke free of her partnership with Nia Jax on the Sept. 20 edition of Raw. WWE is saying Bazler broke Jax’s elbow in the process.

Kayla Braxton updated Nia’s condition on The Bump this morning (Sept. 22). While this sounds vague enough to be a storyline description, it also sounds like they’re writing Jax off for a while.
