WWE Gives Dana Brooke Injury Update

WWE has updated the status of Dana Brooke who suffered an “injury” at the hands of Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey on Monday’s episode of Raw.

Rousey beat Brooke in about 15 seconds, locking in an armbar and injuring Brooke by keeping it locked in long after her challenger had tapped out.

At the time, WWE released the following statement:

Dana Brooke was injured at the hands of Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey and was taken to a local medical facility for further evaluation.

The injury occurred after Rousey locked in the Armbar and earned a submission victory over Brooke in their Raw Women’s Championship Match. After the bell, Rousey refused to release the hold and applied additional pressure on Brooke’s left arm.

After a physical altercation involving referees and security guards, Rousey left the arena with her husband, fellow MMA fighter Travis Browne.

A new statement has now been released, giving an update on the injury:

Dana Brooke sustained a hyperextended left elbow and ligament tears at the hands of Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey last night, WWE.com can now confirm.

As far as we know, this injury is a work and simply a way of getting over Ronda as a force to be reckoned with.

See you in a few months, Dana.
