WWE NXT star Zoey Stark on dealing with injuries
Zoey Stark has a ton of potential but has dealt with injuries throughout her career.
Stark was sidelined last year with a knee injury, and it took a toll on her. In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling, Zoey admitted that it was difficult to watch other superstars take her spot while she was out of action.
"It was hard. It took a toll, more mentally than physically. Physically, I knew I'd be okay. But mentally, watching people in spots that I've been dreaming to be in, that was probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do. But I got past it and now I'm in the spot that I wanted to be in last year." [From 1:58 - 2:15]

Zoey Stark won the Women's Tag Team Championships alongside IYO SKY of Damage CTRL during her time in NXT but never held a singles title. It will be fascinating to see if she is able to reach her full potential and become a star on WWE's main roster moving forward.
