Watch: Zoey Stark Suffers Brutal Knee Injury In MITB Qualifier On WWE RAW
Zoey Stark's Money In The Bank dream ended due to a knee injury during a triple-threat match on RAW. She hurt her knee attempting a springboard dropkick. Rhea Ripley won.
An unfortunate injury has ruined Zoey Stark's Money In The Bank dream. The WWE superstar hurt her knee while attempting to hit Kairi Sane with her patented springboard dropkick on the latest episode of RAW. Stark, who faced Sane and Rhea Ripley in a triple-threat women's MITB qualifier match, landed incorrectly on her leg at South Carolina's Bon Secours Wellness Arena. Her knee was awkwardly bent the wrong way, causing a brutal-looking injury.
Following an intense collision with Sane, Stark collapsed on the ring, holding her right knee. She appeared to be in much pain, and the official immediately called for medical assistance. After the ring doctors checked on her, Stark tried to walk off the arena. She, however, was unable to get back on her feet and was later carried away backstage.

Michael Cole doubted that Stark might have re-injured her knee. The 31-year-old previously underwent surgery for a torn ACL, MCL and meniscus in 2021. WWE has yet to make the official announcement on her recent diagnosis.
After Stark was forced out of the MITB qualifier match, AEW Superstar Thunder Rosa wrote a heartfelt message on social media, wishing her a speedy recovery. Rosa emphasised the risk of suffering injuries every time a wrestler gets into the ring.
'Wrestling is a beautiful and dangerous sport. We give our all every time we step into the ring, and we also risk a lot when we do what we love. Zoey Stark, I love you, sister, and I hope you recover soon," Rosa shared on X (formerly Twitter).
This was the first RAW appearance for Stark since January. She remains the last member of Pure Fusion Collective following the departure of Sonya Deville and Shayna Baszler. Before her return to the roster, Stark was mostly seen on house shows and the Main Event. After her previous injury at NXT, she was included in the WWE Draft of 2023.
After Stark left the arena, Rhea Ripley dominated the women's qualifier. She ultimately used the Riptide to pin Kairi Sane to earn a spot in the Money in the Bank ladder match, scheduled for June 7.

He said, "I was angry because we've known each other for a lifetime, professionally and personally. And setting up, so to speak, this larger than life superhero, you don't just let him walk out there. He deserved something very, very special. More than anyone, they owe him. It's just like, okay, here comes Hulk Hogan. I got angry because that's not the way I would have done it and he deserved much more." Hulk Hogan getting loud boos was primarily due to the multiple controversies he had been involved in during his lifetime. This included a leaked s*x tape scandal, making racist comments, lawsuits, and other issues. While the fans did what they wanted that night, a lot of reactions after his death saw many of them being apologetic about their actions.

Some fans believed that McMahon would have countered by piping in cheers, as he did during his time as WWE's head honcho.

However, there was still a notorious section of wrestling fans who stood firm that Hogan got what he deserved in his appearance on the debut edition of Monday Night RAW on Netflix, showering negative comments.
