James suffered the injury at a WWE live event in Waco, Texas in a match against Carmella. She was scheduled to wrestle the next night at a College Station live event but was pulled from the match and replaced by Zelina Vega.

There were various reports during the week over the severity of James' injury, which is what prompted the former six-time Women's Champion to address the rumors on her Instagram Live.

James has not appeared on WWE television since competing in the Women's Battle Royal at WrestleMania 35. She has recently been pushing a Monday Night MILF gimmick on social media but to no avail. She is scheduled to take part in the All-Star Jam in Richmond, VA on July 8 as a musical performer.
