Candice LeRae suffers arm injury at NXT TakeOver: WarGames
Candice LeRae suffered an arm injury at NXT TakeOver: WarGames on Sunday night.
During his post-TakeOver media call, Paul “Triple H” Levesque said LeRae was being checked out and being X-Rayed after the show. Levesque said LeRae possibly suffered a broken arm, but they weren’t sure of that yet.
LeRae and Shotzi Blackheart were the team captains for this year’s women’s WarGames match. Team Candice (LeRae, Dakota Kai, Raquel Gonzalez & Toni Storm) defeated Team Shotzi (Shotzi Blackheart, Ember Moon, Rhea Ripley & NXT Women’s Champion Io Shirai) when Gonzalez pinned Shirai after powerbombing her through a ladder.
In the last spot LeRae was involved in near the end of the match, Blackheart hit a senton off the top of a ladder onto LeRae as LeRae had a steel chair on top of her. LeRae was favoring her right arm when her teammates checked on her and as they celebrated after the match.

Levesque also said during the post-TakeOver media call that Bobby Fish suffered a laceration on his elbow in the men’s WarGames match. Levesque said they weren’t exactly sure if it was just the elbow, so they were just waiting to see. Levesque said aside from LeRae and Fish’s injuries, it seems like the most anyone else suffered was just bumps and bruises.
