In the world of professional wrestling injuries happen, and unfortunately it seems that they’ve been happening far too often for the stars of WWE and NXT as of late.
Several stars on the WWE main roster are currently out of action due to injury, and this is without a doubt the worst time to be injured because WrestleMania season is in full swing.
Now it looks like yet another wrestler might be injured, as Bianca Belair faced off against Ember Moon at the NXT Live event in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada on Thursday night, and it’s being reported that the finish did not go according to plan.
According to fans in attendance, Ember Moon hit Bianca Belair with the Eclipse, but after Belair kicked out at two, the referee called for the bell anyway.
You can check out a clip of the awkward finish below.

Fans in attendance also noted that the NXT star appeared to be hurt after the awkward finish.
@davemeltzerWON Bianca Belair looks hurt. She kept grabbing her neck. Match against Moon ended strangely, and abruptly. Belair left via a side exit with a couple of staffers beside her

@davemeltzerWON Bianca Belair just got hurt taking Embers finisher in Mississauga. Awkwardly kicked out of the finish, they counted it anyways and rushed her out of there.
