Prayers go out to Zoey Stark.
On this week’s episode of WWE Raw, Zoey Stark battled Kairi Sane and Rhea Ripley in a Money in the Bank qualifying match. When Stark attempted a missile dropkick on Sane, however, her landing resulted in her knee bending in a way it shouldn’t and an official carrying her to the backstage area.
As of now, the severity of Stark’s apparent knee injury is unknown. Still, a number of her peers are rooting for her and a quick recovery.
“I truly hope we get to face each other again when you’re ready. Wishing you a smooth recovery. #Respect @ZoeyStarkWWE,” wrote Kairi Sane on X.

Rhea Ripley, who went on to pin Sane in the qualifier, offered up similar words to her fellow Raw star. “Professional wrestling can be very real and dangerous… Tonight continued to prove that anything can happen. Wishing @ZoeyStarkWWE a speedy recovery,” she wrote.

Elsewhere, former AEW Women’s Champion Thunder Rosa reminded fans that pro wrestling is both a beautiful and dangerous sport, while adding her hopes for Stark and her injury. “We give our all everytime we step in the ring and we also risk a lot when we do what we love,” Rosa wrote. “@ZoeyStarkWWE I love you sister and I hope you recover soon.”
The love for Stark continued with the messages from the likes of Natalya, IYO SKY, and Daria Rae (fka Sonya Deville). In Rae’s case, she posted an image of her, Stark, and Shayna Baszler from their time working together as Pure Fusion Collective. Baszler and Rae both departed from WWE in recent months, with this week marking Stark’s first match on Raw as a solo competitor.

Praying for @ZoeyStarkWWE. Takes serious risk and physical trauma every time she steps in the ring to make the most of her opportunities and entertain the fans. Hoping she’ll be ok soon. ??
