I read another site that said she is ok. The same exact thing happened to John Cena from Seth Rollins. It seems to me that WWE needs to stop using that knee to the face move as it is very dangerous. There are plenty of other moves without risking a broken nose. I don’t want to see anyone get a broken knows or face injury like that so its time for them to put a stop to knees to the face.
