Mick Foley reveals Mickie James suffered serious injury during RAW Women's title match
The RAW Women's Championship match between Mickie James and Asuka from the latest edition of the Red brand has gotten a lot of fans talking, mainly due to the botched nature of its finish.
The referee called for the bell while Mickie James was locked in the Asuka Lock; however, there was no visible tap from the 6-time Women's Champion.
A shocked Mickie James looked on as the referee told the ringside announcer to adjudge Asuka as the winner. The commentators themselves were confused about the awkward finish.
Mick Foley has now revealed that Mickie James might have unfortunately suffered a shoulder injury, which would ideally explain the RAW Women's title match's quick finish.
I'm hearing that @MickieJames may have injured her shoulder in tonight's #Raw match - which would explain the quick ending to the match. If true, I'm wishing Mickie a quick and complete recovery...and hoping she gets another shot at the title.
Former WWE Superstar and producer Lance Storm was the first to highlight the fact that the referee might have told James about her separated shoulder.
Hope @MickieJames is okay. I think the ref said her shoulder popped out. #RAW
