Skye Blue Recalls Scary Details Of Her Broken Ankle Injury
Skye Blue returns to the ring this week on AEW Dynamite, but the scary details of her injury are still fresh in her mind.
All Elite Wrestling's Skye Blue was a recent guest on Q101. When asked about her broken ankle injury came about last year in her match with Hikaru Shida, Blue detailed the events of that night and the brutal details of her injury that put her on the shelf for almost a year.

'I was catching a dive. I've caught dives before so I didn't think anything of it,' Skye Blue said. 'As she jumped, I could tell something was off with it. It was either her head was hitting the floor or I was going to dive and catch her. I dove and caught her. The second I felt it, I rolled over to get up because I had to crawl to where I was going, I felt my foot dangling from my leg.
'I could feel it detached. It was the grossest feeling that I've ever felt. Before I even told the ref, 'Hey, my ankle is messed up,' there was already a doctor in front of me. She's like, 'You're done. You're not getting up.' 'No, let me finish the match.' I tried to get up and I screamed.
'She goes, 'Sit down. You're done.' 'Okay.' I was terrified because I just wanted to finish the match. I never felt anything like this. It was the first major injury. I snapped my fibula. There are two long screws (on one side) and (on the other side) is a plate and six screws. That was probably the scariest thing ever.'
When asked if she thought that injury might have meant the end of her career, Blue admitted that the thought did cross her mind.

'That definitely crossed through my head a bunch of times, especially at night when I couldn't sleep,' Skye Blue admitted. 'It'd be like four in the morning and there were times I would have to lay with my leg straight because if I moved it, it was in pain. [Kyle] was the best because he'd be like, 'Tell those voices to shut up. You're going to wrestle. You're not going to just sit on this couch and mop.' He was by far the biggest supporter I could ever ask for.' [H/T: Fightful]

Previewing the 2025 season for Penn State DE Enai White with his player profile
Previewing the 2025 season for Penn State DE Enai White with his player profile Going into the 2025 football season, Nittany Lions Wire will examine each player listed on the Penn State roster. Over the preseason, each profile will cover the player's background, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school, and what role they will play for James Franklin this season. Defensive end Enai White was a member of Texas A&M's historic 2022 recruiting class, which still ranks as the best class of all time per the 247Sports rankings. White had a promising start to his college career but sustained a knee injury midway through the 2023 season, which kept him sidelined for all but one game in 2024. After three seasons with the Aggies, he entered the transfer portal and landed at Penn State, where he's seemingly recovered. Here's a look at Kemajou entering the 2025 season. Preseason Player Profile Hometown: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Height: 6-5 Weight: 264 lb Class in 2025: Redshirt junior Recruiting Rankings Class of 2022: Consensus 4-star recruit, No. 47 player, No. 4 edge rusher and No. 2 Pennsylvania native, per 247Sports White, a near 5-star recruit and one of Pennsylvania's top talents, was brought back to the Keystone State by Franklin through the transfer portal, continuing the trend of returning in-state players like Julian Fleming from Ohio State and Nolan Rucci from Wisconsin. Career Stats Games Tackles Tackles for loss Sacks Forced fumbles 2022 7 8 2 1 0 2023 5 3 1 1 0 2024 1 0 0 0 0 Depth Chart Overview The two-deep at defensive end is expected to consist of Dani Dennis-Sutton, Zuriah Fisher, Max Granville and Jaylen Harvey, but if there's one player who could throw a wrench into that, it's White. His recruiting pedigree and early trajectory at Texas A&M indicate he could be a contributor, but his injury status is a major question mark. For what it's worth, White appeared in the Blue-White Game, signifying at least some level of health.

Defensive end Yvan Kemajou wasn't viewed as one of the top recruits in Penn State's 2025 class, but the early returns have been promising. Kemajou earned a starting role opposite Zuriah Fisher for the blue team in Penn State's annual Blue-White Game and was called a "monster" by strength coach Chuck Losey, leading to optimism entering the season. Preseason Player Profile Hometown: Burtonsville, Maryland Height: 6-3 Weight: 244 lb Class in 2025: Freshman Recruiting Rankings Class of 2022: Consensus 4-star recruit, No. 18 defensive lineman and No. 5 Maryland native per 247Sports Kemajou ranked as a 3-star when he committed to the Nittany Lions but quickly shot up the rankings after displaying strength and explosiveness in his senior season of high school ball. Depth Chart Overview Kemajou likely won't crack the two-deep in 2025 but may see the field in garbage time or on special teams during his freshman campaign.
