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.
