Io Shirai, Jake Atlas, Leon Ruff Listed On NXT Injury Report
Three different wrestlers are listed on this week’s NXT Injury Report.
NXT announced the following injuries in Friday’s injury report:
* Io Shirai suffered a back contusion from Charlotte Flair’s Kendo stick attack. Both Shirai and Flair wrestled for the NXT Women’s Championship, with Shirai picking up the win by disqualification due to the Kendo stick attack, meaning Flair retained the title
* Jake Atlas suffered a strained forearm. This was a result of Kushida’s armbar at the end of their Group A match in the Interim NXT Cruiserweight Championship tournament.
* Leon Ruff suffered a neck sprain at the hands of Karrion Kross. Ruff was quickly defeated by Kross in what was the latter’s in-ring debut for NXT.
Keep in mind, the NXT injury report is a blend of kayfabe and reality.
