WWE News: Injury Delays Io Shirai’s Debut in WWE

Io Shirai’s debut in the WWE looks to be on hold at the moment due to injury concerns. It is unsure when she will make her WWE debut. Shirai held a press conference on June 22 in Japan where she revealed that she suffered a neck injury on May 14 after she was given a piledriver from her opponent and will now be taking some time off.
Shirai added that she is getting her neck re-evaluated by July to determine whether surgery is needed. That means she will need to have it taken care of before she signs with WWE. Her debut is looking like it will not happen until probably the fall.
