This looks very painful

Welsh WWE star Tegan Nox suffered a horrible injury when her knee “exploded” during the middle of a match. 23-year-old Nox was facing Australian competitor Rhea Ripley in the quarterfinals of the Mae Young Classic tournament when she injured her left leg early during the match. She managed to continue for a few minutes, but the bout was ended prematurely. She is clearly in real agony during the match. https://twitter.com/WWE/status/1052737464438149120 https://twitter.com/MaeYoungClassic/status/1052735676729286656 It took place at tapings in August, but has only just been shown on the WWE Network. Behind-the-scenes footage showed Triple H coming to comfort her after the match. https://twitter.com/WWE/status/1052741284169801728 https://twitter.com/TeganNoxWWE_/status/1052769800525635584 Nox tweeted out a photo of her knee, along with confirming a long list of injuries she had been diagnosed with - including a dislocated kneecap, torn MCL, LCL, ACL and both meniscus, bone contusions and a Segond fracture on her left tibia. https://twitter.com/TeganNoxWWE_/status/1052741053328097280 Welsh-born Nox wrestled on the UK independent scene under the name Nixon Newell, prior to signing for WWE.
