As noted, Neville suffered a broken ankle and broken shinbone on a baseball slide during Monday’s WWE RAW match against Chris Jericho.
Neville underwent more tests in Orlando at the WWE Performance Center on Monday and WWE’s Dr. Chris Amann reports that he will not need surgery. Neville is expected back in 2-3 months. Amann told WWE’s website:
“Neville had some repeat testing done in Orlando today which included X-Rays and a cat scan of his ankle. Upon further review, it has been determined that surgical repair of the ankle would not be necessary. Instead, he will be treated nonoperatively with a cast and crutches. The estimated return for this type of fracture is usually 2 to 3 months.”
Last night, Neville appeared to suffer an ankle or knee injury during his match on last night’s RAW against Chris Jericho. Jericho threw Neville into the ropes, and Neville tried a baseball slide between Jericho’s legs when he injured his ankle, as seen in the video below:
Dave Meltzer reported on Wrestling Observer Radio that Neville suffered a broken shinbone and a broken ankle. While it’s too early to know how much time Neville will miss, he most likely is out of WrestleMania 32.
Officials helped Neville to the back after the match.
Update:
As noted, Neville suffered a fractured ankle during the match with Chris Jericho on last night’s WWE RAW in Pittsburgh. He’s expected to miss WrestleMania 32. The way the match finished with Jericho getting disqualified for pushing the referee was not the original plan but they improvised and went with that finish after Neville’s ankle snapped doing the baseball slide
Jacqueline, a true trailblazer for women in the sports-entertainment industry, will take her well-deserved place in history in her hometown of Dallas, Texas, when she is enshrined in the WWE Hall of Fame’s Class of 2016. The news was broken by FoxSports.com, who got exclusive comments from the Hall’s latest inductee.
Her journey to sports-entertainment immortality began in the late 1980s in Dallas, where she trained under the nefarious Skandor Akbar. The lone female in Akbar’s academy, Jacqueline cut her teeth in the world-famous Sportatorium, where the Von Erich Family and Fabulous Freebirds engaged in one of the most heated rivalries ever.
She traveled to Memphis and Japan to further hone her craft before bursting onto the national scene with WCW in 1997. As the manager of the devilish Kevin Sullivan, Jacqueline showed she was just as tough as any man, clobbering Sullivan’s opponents with vicious blows and slamming them onto unforgiving arena floors.
Jacqueline jumped to WWE in 1998, aiding Marvelous Marc Mero in his quest to take back the spotlight from Sable. The hard-hitting competitor ended up taking some glory for herself, winning the reinstated WWE Women’s Championship with a victory over the blonde bombshell. She captured the championship once again in 2000.
In addition to her in-ring battles, Jacqueline took on a number of other jobs within WWE. She served as a trainer and mentor to hopeful Superstars and Divas on the first season of the reality show Tough Enough and donned stripes to enforce the rules as a WWE referee. She returned to the ring in 2004, answering the open challenge of Cruiserweight Champion Chavo Guerrero. Though Guerrero treated Jacqueline like a joke, the fierce Diva brought the fight to Guerrero and shocked the world by pinning him to capture the title. True to her groundbreaking nature, Jacqueline became the third woman ever to hold the Cruiserweight Championship and the first to do so in WWE.
Now, on the eve of WrestleMania 32, the trailblazing Diva will add another accolade to her incredible resume, as she is inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
Here is some history on Jacqueline Moore before WCW & WWE:
She made her in-ring debut for World Class Championship Wrestling in 1988, under the name “Sweet Georgia Brown. As Sweet Georgia Brown, Jacqueline had wrestled in Japan for Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling, wrestling the likes of Megumi Kudo and Combat Toyoda. She also competed in all-women’s promotions Ladies Professional Wrestling Association and Women’s Pro Wrestling.
Jacqueline later moved on to the United States Wrestling Association in Memphis, where she was known as Miss Texas.She made her debut as a Heel Valet to Eric Embry and Tom Prichard as part of team Texas during the Texas vs Tennessee feud. She was later involved in a feud with the Dirty White Girl Kim Anthony and was involved in a Mudpit Match and a Hair vs Hair match which Anthony won and in the latter Jacqueline had her hair shaved off. She was the first ever USWA Women’s Champion, winning the newly created title in a tournament on March 2, 1992.. In 1993, Jacqueline became the first female to be included in the Pro Wrestling Illustrated 500, detailing the top 500 professional wrestlers in the world. Jacqueline was 14 time USWA Womens’ Champion.
WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley and his daughter Noelle Foley will be starring in an upcoming WWE Network series.

WWE World Heavyweight Champion Triple H managed to Pedigree Dean Ambrose and escape Toronto with the title, but now the path is clear: He’s set for a championship showdown against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. Despite Ambrose nearly pinning him — Ambrose’s feet were under the ropes, causing the official to call off a would-be three-count — The Game can now fully turn his attention to The Big Dog eying his title.
And how will the defeated Lunatic Fringe respond after the heartbreaking defeat? Even though he lost, his performance surely has to boost his confidence leading into his No Holds Barred Street Fight against Brock Lesnar at The Show of Shows. But given Ambrose’s unstable disposition, that isn’t much consolation. What chaos will he cause after coming up short in another big match?

As WrestleMania approaches, every competitor in WWE is looking to make an impact, and Lana has certainly been doing that in a major way — despite never having competed inside a WWE ring. How will Brie Bella retaliate against her blonde aggressor, and how might this rivalry affect The Show of Shows? Expect more from these two Divas Monday night.
With his actions last week, Chris Jericho affirmed that he has a lot of unfinished business with AJ Styles. Does this mean that Styles vs. Jericho IV awaits? If so, when will it happen?
WWE Tag Team championship: (C’s) New Day VS League of Nations (Alberto Del Rio & Rusev)
WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler appeared on Cerrito Live this weekend and said there may be split announce teams at WrestleMania 32, apparently so he and “MR” Mauro Ranallo can get a spot on the show. Lawler said it’s not a done deal but he’s heard “scuttlebutt” about that happening. Lawler mentioned how fans are requesting that he and Mauro to work the show.
Lawler, who had trouble remembering Byron Saxton’s name, also talked about his heel turn on commentary and said it was his idea. Lawler knew Mauro wouldn’t say anything bad about anyone because he was the new guy and Byron is too nice of a guy, so Lawler suggested to Vince that he go back to his heel persona.
Lawler also said he’s just scratching the surface and trying to ease into the turn. Lawler said Vince loved the idea and told him that he misses the way “The King” used to be.
