NXT Superstar Out For Two Months
January 26, 2020The injury bug has hit another superstar in NXT.
Every week WWE posts an “NXT Injury Report” video and this week they noted that Io Shirai had injured her knee on this week’s NXT. It was believed that the injury came from a springboard moonsault to the outside.
According to Dave Meltzer on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, he stated that Io Shirai will be out of action for two months. The original NXT report stated that Shirai was listed as “day-to-day” but was still to be further evaluated and scheduled to have an MRI on the knee.
On Saturday Shirai posted a picture of a knee brace confirming the injury.

As stated above that injury likely came after her match with Toni Storm ended via disqualification and the match broke down to a four women brawl all around the ring.
