SUMMARY
- NXT star Jacy Jayne suffered a serious injury during a match on the latest episode of the yellow brand.
- The 27-year-old in-ring performer suffered a broken nose, and fans have been showing their concern over it.
John Cena has been a constant in WWE for over two decades, and throughout his pro wrestling stint, he has achieved some incredible feats. But alongside this, he has also suffered multiple serious injuries, and a young NXT star Jacy Jayne has recently suffered the same injury that cost The Cenation Leader several weeks of his in-ring career.
It happened on the April 30 edition of the yellow brand, as the 27-year-old female performer broke her nose during a match on night two of Spring Breakin. The injury was noticed after the 5-foot-6 performer lost against Thea Hail, as the audience got to see blood coming out of her nose, hinting at a potential nose injury.
Everyone was wondering that she might have gotten injured after unfortunately being busted open during the show, but now she has seemingly confirmed the injury. The 2-time NXT Tag Team Champion did so by sharing a throwback picture of WWE legend John Cena with a broken nose that Cena suffered in 2015.

For those who aren’t aware of the 16-time World Champion’s nose injury, it occurred during his memorable feud with Seth Rollins. Amid their rivalry, the two were having a match on Monday Night RAW, and that’s when the unfortunate incident happened. As The Visionary attempted a Flying Knee on the veteran during the match, it ended up breaking John’s nose and thus taking him out of action.
WWE Universe reacts to Jacy Jayne’s injury
As soon as pictures of the young NXT star’s injury went viral after her match on the latest episode, fans started reacting to the incident. Sharing how she is on the same path as The Cenation Leader, an audience member wrote, “Jacy Jayne Welcome to John Cena era.” (Via: X)
Pointing out how the injury has probably left a major issue for her in-ring status, someone from the WWE Universe said, “That nose is definitely broken.” “I hope it heals up fast Jacy!,” another professional wrestling enthusiast wrote to wish the recent injured star a speedy recovery.
When could Jacy Jayne make her return to in-ring action?
As Jacy Jayne has herself hinted that she has suffered a similar injury to what John went through in 2015, the time period of her recovery might also be very similar. When Cena suffered a broken nose due to Seth’s knee move, John Cena’s nose was fractured, and he had to be sent immediately to the emergency room. But no such update has been reported about Jacy’s recent injury.

While the WWE legend was able to make a comeback to in-ring competition in just three weeks after suffering the injury, the extent of Jayne’s injury is unknown. It is a major reason why no exact time period for Jacy Jayne’s return to NXT can be estimated. Amid the current uncertainty about the female star’s return timeline, it remains to be seen when she finally makes her return to the yellow brand.
