Tegan Nox has been out of action for the better part of the year. However, she proved her caliber when she became the number one contender after a fatal four-way match.
Unfortunately, she failed to win the NXT Women’s title from Champion Io Shirai. Moreover, due to an attack from Candice LeRae, she suffered from a torn ACL and would be out of action for an indefinite amount of time.
The latest addition in the list came on the last episode of NXT. British wrestler Ridge Holland reportedly went down with a nasty leg injury that could well have been his knee or ankle. Holland attempted to catch Oney Lorcan after throwing himself over the top rope, but his leg folded underneath him.
