Triple H and Stephanie McMahon showcased just how integral women's wrestling is going to be during this new era of WWE. Six women featured throughout Raw in an angle revolving around Bianca Belair's title... then seven different female superstars competed in a gauntlet match on SmackDown to determine Liv Morgan's Clash at the Castle challenger.
Carmella Injured During WWE Live Event
All those superstars, and there wasn't a spot for Carmella on WWE TV this week. Don't despair, Mella fans.

Perhaps an indication that the former Smackdown Women's Champion suffered a concussion, but that hasn't been confirmed just yet.
As for how it happened, the same reports from fans suggest the injury occurred when Mella hit her head on the corner of the ring, as the RAW Women's Champion attempted to perform a Sunset Flip on her. The match she was supposed to compete in was quickly changed to a singles bout between Belair and the Empress of Tomorrow. An interesting dynamic, since the pair appeared to be on the same side as they attempted to fend off Bayley, Dakota Kai, and Iyo Sky on Monday Night RAW this week.
Now I'm not saying I've been using a voodoo doll to "encourage" misfortune, but...
