Wrestler Zoey Stark, one of the most consistent competitors on the WWE roster, suffered a serious right knee injury during a qualifier for Money In The Bank 2025, causing concern among fans and colleagues.
The bout, which aired on Monday Night RAW on May 20, 2025, was a triple threat between Stark, Rhea Ripley and Kairi Sane. The goal was to define a participant for the traditional ladder match. However, the contest took a tragic turn when Zoey Stark attempted to execute a maneuver from the third rope. As she fell, her knee bent completely inward, collapsing her support and leaving the wrestler lying in the ring, visibly affected.
Immediate medical evacuation
WWE medical personnel immediately entered the ring, seeing that Zoey Stark was unable to stand up.
According to witnesses and official transmission, the fighter was crying in pain and helplessness, while she was taken away by medical assistants.

She was subsequently stretchered and rushed to a hospital in Hartford, where the event was held.
At this time, WWE has not issued an official medical statement.
Internal sources indicate that MRI studies are being performed to assess the severity of the damage.
Injury history
The situation is particularly delicate, given that Zoey Stark had already suffered a serious injury in 2021.
On that occasion, she tore her anterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament and meniscus, which kept her out of action for more than eight months.
Michael Cole, RAW’s lead commentator, mentioned on air that this new injury could be related to that previous operation.
Change of combat plans
Buzzy
According to reports from trade journalist Dave Meltzer at Wrestling Observer, the original plan was for Zoey Stark to receive the pin in the match.
This while Ripley qualified.
However, the injury forced the match to be rescheduled.
In the end, Ripley defeated Kairi Sane, who was not contemplated to lose in that scenario.
Zoey Stark’s injury represents a major setback for WWE’s women’s division, especially when the company was betting on consolidating her as a relevant contender.
