Zoey Stark's disturbing injury on WWE RAW prompts veteran to make a strict statement (Exclusive)

WWE RAW this week witnessed a gruesome injury involving Zoey Stark. The incident has caused much discussion in the pro wrestling community, with veteran journalist Bill Apter also commenting on it.

An attempt at a dropkick led to Zoey accidentally twisting her right knee, which immediately left her clutching her leg. She was removed from the ring shortly afterward due to the need for urgent care. While such incidents are rarer in the Stamford-based promotion than in the past, it still serves as a reminder of how dangerous in-ring action can be for the stars involved.

Speaking about the incident on The Wrestling Time Machine, hosted by Mac Davis, Bill Apter shared his thoughts on the matter. He said:

"People get hurt in the ring. New fans that think Oh my god, this is just acrobatics and all that, people get hurt. More so than you even know." [1:15 onwards]

Speaking on Busted Open, Tommy had the following to say about the stars involved:

"They (Ripley and Sane) did an excellent performance when also their mind is on somebody else. Also, you are on Monday Night RAW, with millions upon millions of people watching. On paper, that match was looking great, and when an injury happens, you have to rip up that paper," he said
