#1 Toni Storm

I think I speak for most people when I say that I was shocked to see Toni Storm lose the NXT Women's Championship against Kay Lee Ray at NXT UK TakeOver: Cardiff. But some of you might be also shocked to learn that she went into that match dealing with a shoulder injury.

I managed to speak to Storm before NXT TakeOver: Cardiff where she revealed she had in fact been dealing with an injury, which was why she had to pull out of some other bookings in the run-up to her title defence.

Here's the full quote,
"Well basically, I'm travelling a lot, I'm working a lot, I'm doing a lot of shows. Obviously, I'm going to be okay for TakeOver. I just had to cancel a few bookings to prevent injury because sometimes you just get to a point and after ten years my body starts to, kind of, fail me a little bit,"

"But yeah, I did have a little bit of an issue with my shoulder and I just needed to take a break because there's so much at stake. I'm going into the biggest match of my career so far. My biggest title defence since being champion. So I just have to actually take care of myself for a few weeks leading into this. I can't take any risks at the moment because what we do to our bodies can be so dangerous so I'm basically just getting myself in proper condition because there's so much at stake."
