Injury update for Mia Yim and Aliyah from this week’s NXT

Both Mia Yim and Aliyah received injuries this week from their respective matches on NXT. Thanks to the NXT Injury Report that you can view above we have a follow-up.

Aliyah took on Xia Li in a losing effort after a roundhouse kick by Li has now taken Aliyah out of action. The kick by Li sent Aliyah to the Emergency Room for a CAT Scan. It has been determined that she has sustained a nasal fracture and a possible orbital floor fracture. She is not medically cleared.

Yim, on the other hand, is said to be day-by-day basis as far as if she can compete. This is likely due to the fact that she is scheduled for WarGames on Nov. 23 and they don’t want to say just yet if she will not be able to compete.

Much like Aliyah, Yim has also sustained a nasal fracture and also possible rib fractures. The nasal fracture came from the ladder to the face spot as a result of the kick from Io Shirai from the top rope. Even after this clearly caused an injury to Yim she kept going to finish the match. Due to NXT UK Women’s Champion Kay Lee Ray pushing Yim off a ladder which caused her to come crashing down through a ladder on the outside is the concern for the fractured ribs.

What are your thoughts of this injury update? Do you think Yim will be good for WarGames or will she be replaced? Leave your thoughts in the comment section.

Check back in with Diva Dirt for further updates on Mia Yim’s status and all information revolving around NXT TakeOver: WarGames.
