NXT TakeOver: WarGames will feature the very first Women’s WarGames match, so it’s going to be important for either the team led by the NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler and the team led by Rhea Ripley to take the victory. Which means it was even more important to fight for any advantage the teams can get going into the pay-per-view, and Io Shirai and Mia Yim went all out in order to make sure they nabbed this for their teams. Yim took the brunt of the major ladder attacks, one of which resulted in her getting her face busted open surprisingly.

When Io Shirai dropkicks Yim while she’s holding up a ladder, the ladder thus hit Yim right in the face. This resulted in the shocking injury that had her bleeding profusely, and even had her needing immediate medical attention.

Read on to see what fans are saying about the injury and fierce match that followed.

The Head Baddie in Charge!
Whew…I hope that @MiaYim is okay! That ladder bump to the face didnโt look pretty and that landing on the ladder didnโt sound good! But knowing that sheโs the head baddie in charge, sheโll dust herself off! #NXT #NXTonUSA @WWENXT
