Moné Injury Leads to Nightingale Title Victory
Willow Nightingale defeated Mercedes Moné at New Japan Resurgence this weekend in a tournament finals match to become the first New Japan Pro Wrestling Strong Women's Champion.
It appears, however that this outcome was changed during the match when Moné suffered a lower leg injury that eventually required her being carried away from ringside.
Moné fell from the ring apron to the floor during a spot, and seemingly struggled with her lower leg for the remainder of the match.
Nightingale delivered a powerbomb to Moné and attempted a pinfall, but the referee stopped counting at two, even though Moné's shoulders were still pinned to the mat.
Nightingale delivered another powerbomb and pinfall, this time for a full three count, and Moné was assisted backstage while Nightingale celebrated with the championship.
