Unfortunately it’s not good news for WWE Women’s Champion, Beth Phoenix. The Glamazon has been diagnosed with a torn ACL after suffering an injury at last week’s SmackDown tapings in a match against Rosa Mendes.
It had been hoped that the injury was a minor ankle injury and Beth was taken off last week’s Mexican tour in order to rest up and return in time for this week’s SmackDown taping in her hometown of Buffalo, New York. However it became apparent that the injury is much more severe than first thought. Sources suggest that Phoenix could be out of action for an upward of six months.
Fans will see how WWE handles her injury on tomorrow’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown.
Phoenix’s injury is the same one that fellow three-time Women’s Champion, Melina is currently on the sidelines with.
Our best wishes go out to Beth on a speedy recovery!
