5 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 5 we hope aren't: Vince McMahon's personal "Superstar ranking" list revealed, WWE has no plans for important babyface star?

#4. Hope isn't true: Karrion Kross injured following his WWE NXT title win?

A stroke of bad luck?

When we think of such situations, the first thing that comes to mind is SummerSlam 2016 - when Finn Balor finally had his pay-per-view debut at SummerSlam and toppled Seth Rollins to become the inaugural Universal Champion.

Unfortunately for him, he dislocated his shoulder during the match and had to sit out for nearly eight months before returning. It was frustrating because fans who followed him knew how hard he worked to reach where he did. His career was never the same after returning.

Something similar seems to have happened to Karrion Kross, who defeated Keith Lee to win the NXT title at NXT TakeOver: XXX. Triple H revealed in the post-TakeOver conference call that Karrion Kross may have separated his shoulder:

"As good as he is at his job, I wish I could say that he is really good at his job. I really wish I could say that. I am going to have to find out with the MRI and everything. It looks like he separated his shoulder. Somewhere in that match, I knew he was hurt, but he wanted to continue. The medical team was watching him continue with the match, and they felt like he has separated his shoulder. He is tough, man. There's not much more to say about that. To go through that with Keith Lee, who is a big boy. And you know, when your shoulder is separated, it is not easy to back and forth, but he got through it. It is bittersweet. I know he was ecstatic in the moment and he is excited in the moment because it is a dream come true for both him and Scarlett."

While it's not confirmed, we hope this isn't true because it would be heartbreaking for Karrion Kross to reach the top only to suffer an injury in the process.
