Wrestling is a sport that often causes a number of injuries, wrestlers are aware of what they are signing up for when they decide to pursue a career in the business and pretty much every wrestler will spend a certain amount of time on the sidelines in their career because of an injury.

The Women's Revolution has taken hold of WWE over the past few months and the company now use their female wrestlers much more than they once did, which could be why three female wrestlers have been sidelined with legitimate injuries in the past week.

The first ever all-women's pay-per-view, Evolution is merely a month away now and it appears that there could be a number of women missing out on the event if they aren't cleared in time to make their return to the ring.


#5 Tegan Nox

Many of the WWE Universe will only be familiar with Tegan Nox based on this year's Mae Young Classic where she was forced to bow out early after suffering a suspected broken leg in her match with Rhea Ripley. Nox has been a wrestling sensation all over the United Kingdom for the past few years and has been seen as half of Team Kick alongside Dakota Kai in NXT over the past few months.

Nox was forced to withdraw from the first Mae Young Classic before the competition aired, through injury and only returned to the ring earlier this year and sadly she has been handed another huge blow. It is unknown when Nox will return to the ring following this setback, but it is hoped that she comes back better and stronger in 2019.

#4 Tamina Snuka

Tamina Snuka is a second generation superstar who has been in WWE now for more than eight years, but in that time she has been unable to leave a lasting impression in the Women's Division since most of her best work has come as a manager.

Tamina was last seen on WWE TV when she was part of the first ever all-women's Royal Rumble match back in January, it was then revealed that she was struggling with a torn rotator cuff. Tamina has since undergone surgery and is rehabbing her injury ahead of a return. The daughter of WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka has been sidelined for almost eight months which means that she should be looking to be cleared for a return in the coming weeks.

#3 Alexa Bliss

Alexa Bliss has dominated the Women's Division on Raw and SmackDown ever since she was promoted to the main roster in the summer of 2016, but she was handed the unfortunate news that she would have to drop out of the Mixed Match Challenge last week when it was revealed that she was struggling with an arm injury.

WWE stated that Bliss woke on Tuesday morning and felt numbness in her arm, the arm that was worked by Ronda Rousey throughout their match on Sunday night at Hell in a Cell. The former Women's Champion was back on Raw this past week but she wasn't part of the match that took place between Nia Jax and Alicia Fox as she continued to be demoted to much lighter duties whilst WWE assesses the extent of her injury.

#2 Sasha Banks

Sasha Banks has been the real catalyst for the Women's Revolution over the past few years since she has been seen as one of the most popular female wrestlers in the company, but much like Alexa Bliss, Sasha was handed the body blow that she wouldn't be able to take part in season two of the Mixed Match Challenge alongside Bobby Lashley through injury.

Banks injury hasn't been disclosed publically, but her Instagram updates over the past few days have led many fans to believe that Banks has a huge decision to make and since we are now just four weeks shy of Evolution, this doesn't look like great timing for the former Women's Champion.

#1 Liv Morgan

Liv Morgan was part of a six-woman tag team match on Raw last night when she was legitimately knocked out by Brie Bella whilst delivering her Yes Kicks. Liv was then taken over to her corner where she tagged out of the match before the referee was so distracted by her injury that he wasn't in position for a pinfall.

Morgan was assessed by medical staff backstage last night and current reports suggest that the former NXT star suffered a concussion, since it was obvious that she had some memory loss at one point in the match.

WWE will be forced to follow concussion protocol if this is what Liv suffered and she won't be allowed to return to the ring until she has passed all of WWE's tests so it is unknown how long Morgan will be sidelined for.
