WWE’s Aliyah confirms rib and shoulder injuries
Former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Aliyah has confirmed that she suffered rib and shoulder injuries last month.
In an update posted to her Instagram account on Tuesday, Aliyah stated that she suffered an elevated first rib and AC sprain on the September 12 episode of Raw. Aliyah & Raquel Rodriguez lost the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles to Damage CTRL’s Dakota Kai & IYO SKY on that show.
Aliyah wrote that she doesn’t know when she will return to action, but she can’t wait to get back in the ring. Her full Instagram post is available below:
It’s been a month so here I go straight from the horses mouth:
I have to say my last match was probably one of my most favorite. And I would like to thank my tag partner Raquel and Damage CTRL And everyone involved. Yes I got injured mid match, however I have this overwhelming gratitude towards the incident because I felt like it pulled out a version of me that I never even knew existed. ‘Keep going!’ I remember thinking. ‘I never get opportunities like this one’ another voice in my head screamed. So idc I’m going to keep going and keep showing out. The emotions and energy I was feeling in the moment truly lit me up inside and I felt INDESTRUCTIBLE in that moment (yes, with an elevated first rib and ac sprain and all.)
I am very grateful to get to do what I do and I hope my passion and efforts transcended thru your television screen.
I don’t know what the future holds or when I’ll be back. But I just want to say thank you for everyone that has reached out. I really can’t wait to get back in the ring.
Aliyah & Rodriguez were crowned the winners of WWE’s Women’s Tag Team title tournament this August. They were the first team to hold the titles since Sasha Banks & Naomi walked out of WWE.
Aliyah & Rodriguez held the titles for 14 days before losing to Damage CTRL.
