TNA Claims Christy Hemme Is Injured

By • January 12, 2009

Going in to last night’s TNA PPV, the company released a statement claiming Christy Hemme sustained an injury during training and could not compete. I know internally they are not overly sure on her ability compared to the other Knockouts, and it may have been a work to get her off the PPV. The Statement reads:

“TNAwrestling.com has learned that Christy Hemme has sustained a neck injury while training in the ring with AJ Styles for Sunday’s Women’s Championship match. According to TNA officials, Hemme will be unable to compete at “Genesis” against Awesome Kong. Unfortunately, her injury will require surgery and she will be out of action for an undetermined amount of time. On Sunday, TNA Management Director Jim Cornette will name a replacement to face Kong for the Women’s Championship. Everyone at TNA wishes Christy all the best and we will certainly update fans on her condition as we learn more information.”

I have yet to see the PPV, so I’m unsure if anything played out on air regarding her injury.

More info when I get it.
