Way back as kids in elementary school, me and friends would do wrestling during recess in the snow. A buddy and I both went for a headbutt at the same time. He was knocked out and busted open, and i was busted wide open. They banned us from doing wrestling for the rest of the year. We both have the scars to this day

[@blackout2430]

Can’t stand headbutts AWFUL move.

[@roymauler]

Animal's orbital was broken on a botched move by the Warlord, it was before the bench press contest.

[@matthewhostetter8974]

Rhea's injury is disappointing and the time doesn't help as it prolongs her chance to become champion again. The plus side is they can have her come back with a badass mask like Taker when he had a broken orbital bone. This also gives Liv time to have some other feuds as champion. This pretty much means the Rhea and Liv feud is going to till Mania

[@jrbaxterstockman548]

One thing new WWE does well is uses injury for power scaling. It didn't matter if Taker had a shattered ankle, he'd be choking slamming everyone the next week and no one even mentioned it

It appears to have happened before that headbutt. Not sure if it was the night before NXT or the week before. But worth looking at the codebreaker Liv gave Rhea before NXT because that's the supposed injury point.

[@vinceraven1501]

Yeah, like below, Drippley is the one who's always injuring herself... All of the last multiple injuries were of her doing, be it momentum or over eagerness. A bit too anxious.

I think WWE will take their time with Rhea's recovery, as I don't think they are ready to take the belt off Liv anyway and they were kind of struggling with how to stretch this angle out just doing versions of the same brawl every week.
