The repackaged persona of NXT star Xia Li has been on quite a good run lately on the gold and black show. After several dominant victories, she got the opportunity to challenge for the NXT Women’s Championship against the title-holder Raquel Gonzalez.
The two superstars collided in the main event of last night’s episode of the NXT and Xia Li challenged Raquel Gonzalez for the NXT Women’s Championship.
Xia Lia suffers injury during the match
Xia Li who is a part of the Tian Sha faction, came out to face Gonzalez by herself last night without Boa or Mei Ying. They displayed a great match and saw some spectacular spots as well. However, Li was involved in an apparent injury that came just before the finish.
Li seemed to have suffered a serious injury when Gonzalez had performed a corner slingshot senton splash which saw her land directly on top of Li.
Unfortunately, the Chinese star could not even bring her hands up in time, thereby exposing her ribs. Li was then attended by the doctors for a while and was allowed to finish the match.
She then found herself at end of the signature move of Raquel Gonzalez- Tequila Shot for the three count as the championship was successfully retained.

He wrote: “For those asking about Xia Li, we were told she appeared okay backstage after NXT.”
The injury woes remains to be a part of the show as previously Mercedes Martinez suffered a horrific injury against Xia Li, when she was totally knocked out by a roundhouse kick and Martinez went stiff. She has since been out of action and currently taking a time off.
