'WWE Raw' Star Isn't Returning Anytime Soon Amid Serious Injury
'WWE Raw' Star Isn't Returning Anytime Soon Amid Serious Injury originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Don't expect one injured "WWE Raw" superstar to return to TV anytime soon. Throughout the wrestling industry, injuries have derailed several plans and have halted careers. AEW fans continue to wait for Eddie Kingston to make his return after he suffered a torn ACL and meniscus, as well as a tibial fracture. Future WWE Hall of Famer Asuka has been out of action for a year due to a knee injury, and she reportedly isn't ready to return. Advertisement There is another name who isn't expected to be back in the fold in the near future. Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp reports that Zoey Stark will likely miss "WrestleMania" season in 2026 due to her serious knee injury. Stark suffered the injury during an MITB qualifier on the May 19 episode of "Monday Night Raw." Zoey Stark delivers a clothesline to Ivy Nile during a "WWE Raw" match.(via WWE) Stark shared the ring with Rhea Ripley and Kairi Sane in a triple threat. Stark attempted a springboard missile dropkick on Sane, but she landed awkwardly. The former Pure Fusion Collective member immediately grabbed her knee and yelled out in pain. Stark had to be carried to the backstage area and couldn't complete the match. It's the same knee that Stark injured back in 2021. She tore her ACL and meniscus during a triple threat tag team ladder match on the "Halloween Havoc" edition of "NXT." Stark was back in the ring in less than a full year. Advertisement Stark's in-ring abilities didn't suffer after recovering from her first knee surgery. Many are wondering if the "WWE Raw" superstar can have the same recovery success this go-around.

Pro wrestling commentator Jim Ross diagnosed with colon cancer
Longtime pro wrestling commentator Jim Ross has colon cancer. The 73-year-old Ross said in a social media post that he was diagnosed this week and is scheduled to have surgery in the next two weeks. 'I appreciate your concern and support,' he said. Ross is best known for his time with World Wrestling Entertainment from 1993 to 2013. His catch phrases have seeped into popular culture and made him one of the most popular wrestling play-by-play voices of all time. The line, 'My God' or 'By God,' said in his Oklahoma accent after a particularly shocking moment, is perhaps his most famous. Other emphatic calls such as 'He's broken in half' and 'That man has a family' often replace the original commentary over hard-hitting football highlights on social media. Ross is an avid Oklahoma Sooners football fan and booster who often has walked to the ring with the school's fight song, 'Boomer Sooner,' playing. Ross, who was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007, has been with All Elite Wrestling since 2019. 'All Elite Wrestling joins fans around the world in sending love and support to Jim Ross as he battles colon cancer. J.R. is a valued member of the AEW family, and we stand beside him during his journey toward recovery,' AEW said in a statement. ___ AP sports:
