Fan favourite Ripley ended up winning the Money In The Bank qualifier, which will be remembered for Stark’s nasty-looking injury.
Stark jarred her right knee during an awkward landing after performing her patented springboard missile dropkick on Sane.
The referee immediately called for emergency treatment for the fallen Stark, who was in agony.
Stark tried to leave the arena after being seen to by physicians but was unable to walk backstage unaided and had to be carried.
Stark’s apparent knee injury will be a real concern to the WWE brass.
The 31-year-old tore her ACL, MCL and meniscus in 2021 and underwent reconstructive surgery.
WWE fans took to social media to express concerns for Stark, with one writing on X: “Speedy recovery to Zoey Stark.”
Another said: “Wishing her a speedy recovery.”
