WWE and AEW Stars React After Zoey Stark Suffers Knee Injury on RAW

Zoey Stark’s knee injury on the May 19 episode of WWE Raw has the wrestling world rallying behind her.

Just moments into her Women’s Money in the Bank qualifying match against Kairi Sane and Rhea Ripley, Stark collapsed in pain, clutching her knee before being helped to the back during the commercial break. The match continued without her, but the energy instantly shifted from competition to concern.

No official update has been released on the extent of the injury, but that didn’t stop fellow wrestlers and legends from flooding social media with support.

Rhea Ripley, who was in the ring when it happened, tweeted, “Professional wrestling can be very real and dangerous… Tonight continued to prove that anything can happen. Wishing @ZoeyStarkWWE a speedy recovery! 🖤”

Kairi Sane also sent love and respect, writing, “I truly hope we get to face each other again when you’re ready. Wishing you a smooth recovery. #Respect @ZoeyStarkWWE.”

Natalya tweeted, “I love you @ZoeyStarkWWE and I’m keeping you in my prayers. 🙏” while Bayley kept it simple but heartfelt with, “ZOEY ❤️.”

Veteran stars also chimed in. Tommy Dreamer posted, “Prayers & positive vibes for @ZoeyStarkWWE. I’m the biggest StarkMark #WWERaw,” and AEW’s Thunder Rosa echoed the risks of the business: “Wrestling is a beautiful and dangerous sport. We give our all everytime we step in the ring and we also risk a lot when we do what we love. @ZoeyStarkWWE I love you sister and I hope you recover soon.”

Stark has been on a steady rise in WWE’s women’s division, and any time away from the ring could have a major impact on the upcoming Money in the Bank landscape.
