The referee admonishes Zoey Stark for choking her opponent with the ring ropes during a 2024 match on Raw

WWE star Zoey Stark is set for a long spell on the sidelines after suffering a knee injury on the May 19 edition of Raw.

Stark sustained the injury during a triple threat Money in the Bank qualifier also featuring Kairi Sane and Rhea Ripley when she attempted a missile dropkick on Sane and landed awkwardly.

While a previous report indicated that WWE were preparing for Stark to miss the rest of 2025, Fightful Select have since revealed that the company expect her to be out past next year's WrestleMania.

Stark recently had knee surgery, though not for the first time, and she is very familiar with the rehab process. She previously tore her ACL, MCL and meniscus while wrestling on the NXT brand in 2021.

Following her latest setback, Stark took to X to post the following message:

"Wow the love and support means more to me than you'll ever know! What hurts more than my knee is knowing I wont be able to perform for all of you for a while. I LOVE what I do and I'm blessed to do this. As the saying goes, the comeback is greater than the setback. Love you guys #StarkMarks".

WWE were said to be high on Stark, who received backstage praise for her work after being called up to the main roster in 2023.
