Fox’s absence cuts down an already slim women’s roster. So far only about 60% of the field has been announcing leaving WWE to pull from NXT and WWE legends to fill nights Rumble.
This comes as tough news for Fox who’s been in the middle of a career Rennaisance. As RAW’s team captain for Survivor Series, Fox built herself some momentum with a highly idiosyncratic, thus memorable, character. Here’s to hoping she can make a speedy recovery.
