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
WWE issued the following:
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.
Jacqueline’s Hall of Fame profile | Photos | Watch her biggest moments
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.
