She fractured, tore, and sprained it, bad enough to need surgery two weeks prior, calling the past two weeks straight pain. The recovery looks like six to eight weeks on the sidelines, but she pushed hard to get cleared and even made a quick cameo on crutches with her sister. Breed during the show, at a lesion stadium, Paige stepped in as her replacement, teaming with Bre for a huge win. They snagged the Women's Tag Team Championships.
