Was Zoey Stark originally considered to qualify for the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match this past Saturday? There is no way we can definitively say whether Stark was, as she injured her knee midway through the Triple-Threat qualifying match on the May 19 episode of WWE RAW. Rhea Ripley and Kairi Sane valiantly continued, improvising on the fly. The Eradicator wound up winning the bout.
Zoey Stark Shares Update Following Knee Injury on WWE RAW
After Stark was helped to the back, she once again disappeared from WWE TV. This is a woman who was relegated to the bench for months, with her stablemates Shayna Baszler and Sonya Deville getting released. The group, dubbed “Pure Fusion Collective,” showed promise initially but did not go anywhere, ultimately suffering a terrible fate. But all is not lost, it seems, as Stark has shared an update on X.
She revealed that eight days after her springboard move’s landing went awry, she was at Rothman Orthopaedics in Orlando, Florida. The injury is to her ACL, MCL, and meniscus. Although the surgery was scheduled for two hours, it went on for three and a half hours.
The video culminated with Stark urging fans to stay tuned till June 16.”The body achieves what the mind believes,” she wrote on X.

Seth Rollins Once Said Zoey Stark Could Carry WWE Down the Line
In 2023, Stark was pushed to the moon when she aligned with WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus. The former Women’s Champion was in a lengthy program with Becky Lynch during that time. Stark and Lynch main-evented an episode of RAW, which The Man’s husband, Seth Rollins, singled out.
“Zoey Stark was in the ring with my wife Becky, and they absolutely wrecked the main event of Monday Night RAW. Absolutely wrecked it, dude. And that was Zoey’s first main event. First main event. And I told her afterwards, first of many,” Seth Rollins said on WWE After The Bell.
Stark has experienced a minor setback in recent times, but she is still young and has a long road ahead of her. These days, wrestlers who are even past their forties put on impeccable performances, are in the best shape of their lives, and continue to be featured in prominent positions. Rollins noted this as well recently when he spoke about retirement, as he is nearing forty.
