Shortly after the 2010 WWE Draft, new “Raw” star Edge attempted to convince Randy Orton to reform their old tag team, Rated RKO, which had some success a few years earlier. Of course, the problem was Edge attempted to do this by costing Orton a WWE Championship match in order to “make an impact.” As such, Orton decided to feud with Edge instead, leading to a match at Over the Limit. For about 10 minutes, Orton and Edge had the match most people expected they would have, with it seemingly building to Orton attempting his trademark RKO. And that’s when the problems occurred; as Orton did his trademark pounding on the mat to psych himself up for the RKO, he appeared to bang the mat too hard with his right arm, causing him to stop and immediately show signs of discomfort.

Checking in with Orton, the referee immediately signaled for the X, although the match didn’t immediately end with Edge picking up a win. Instead, Orton and Edge, through communication with the referee, improvised a finish that saw Orton roll out of the ring to recover, with Edge following him. “The Rated R Superstar” attempted to spear Orton through the barricade, only for Orton to move in time, leading to Edge hitting the barricade head first. With Edge knocked out, and Orton in too much pain to continue, both men were ultimately counted out, leading to a draw. Fortunately for Orton, he would only miss a few weeks of action before returning, and he would go on to win the WWE Championship once again later in the year.

There may not be any wrestler in WWE history as unlucky as Tegan Nox was. Signing with WWE in 2017 after a strong run on the indies, Nox almost immediately suffered a torn ACL, one that kept her out for a year and forced her to miss the 2017 Mae Young Classic. It was the first of several long stints Nox would be forced to spend on the shelf during her two WWE stints, and was unfortunately followed by another leg injury a year later, when Nox took part in the 2018 Mae Young Classic. After victories over Zatara and Nicole Matthews in the first two rounds, Nox found herself in a highly anticipated quarterfinals match with Rhea Ripley, taped on August 9.

Immediately, things went wrong, as Nox hit Ripley with a suicide dive and immediately began communicating with Ripley before sending her back into the ring, while Nox hobbled around on the floor, unable to put pressure on her left leg. Despite this, Nox and Ripley continued the match for a few more minutes, with Nox noticeably trying to convince referee Aubrey Edwards that she could continue. Alas, Edwards was unconvinced, signaled for the X, and summoned a doctor into the ring; the match was stopped shortly after, with Ripley winning by TKO. Though Nox was protesting up till the match being stopped, Edwards’ decision to throw up the X was correct, as it was later revealed Nox had suffered her second torn ACL, a patellar dislocation, a torn meniscus, and ligament damage. It would be nearly a year before she would return to the ring.
