Folks, we’ve got some big league news coming out of WWE NXT, and it’s not the kind you want to hear. Fallon Henley, one of the toughest competitors on the NXT roster, has reportedly suffered an injury during a recent taping. After reemerging in July with a powerful new alliance called Fatal Influence, alongside Jacy Jayne and Jazmyn Nyx, Henley was on a roll. But it looks like her momentum might have hit a serious snag.
According to the ever-reliable folks at Fightful Select, Henley may have sustained a “possible broken nose” during her match against Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend, which was taped immediately after this week’s episode of NXT. And let me tell you, folks, this is big. While it’s unclear exactly when during the match the injury occurred, what we do know is that Henley soldiered on and finished the match—proving once again that she’s as tough as they come.
Now, the big question on everyone’s mind: How serious is this injury? That’s the million-dollar question, folks. If it turns out to be severe, Henley could be facing her first real time on the sidelines since joining WWE in 2021. Up until now, she’s been as durable as they come, wrestling consistently month after month without a major setback. And before that? The only time she took a break was during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
As we wait for more information on Henley’s condition, there’s no doubt that Fatal Influence’s debut last night was impressive. But with Henley potentially sidelined, the group’s future plans could be thrown into disarray. Meanwhile, NXT also set the stage for what promises to be a huge match between NXT Champion Ethan Page and TNA’s Joe Hendry at No Mercy on September 1.
Let’s hope for the best for Fallon Henley—because when she’s back, you can bet she’ll be stronger than ever.
