POSSIBLE ASUKA INJURY AT SMACKDOWN EVENT IN NY LEADS TO MATCH STOPPAGE

During tonight's Smackdown live event in White Plains, NY, WWE Smackdown Women's Champion Asuka appeared to be injured while wrestling Mandy Rose.

There was a spot where Rose "dropped Asuka" as she was executing a wheel barrow into a Facebuster, but there appeared to have been a miscommunication as Asuka instead went for a victory roll reversal and it ended up with Asuka landing at an akward angle on the side of her face/head. The match was stopped. Asuka was checked on the outside by WWE medical staff and eventually walked to the back, holding her neck and shoulder.

Live in the Westchester County Center, the bout was being ruled a no contest as Asuka could not continue "due to injury."

More as we confirm.
