The wrestling world voiced its displeasure following an incident involving Sexy Star and Global Force Wrestling Knockout Rosemary during the Reina de Reinas (women's) championship match at AAA's TripleManía event in Mexico on Saturday.

According to PWInsider, Rosemary suffered an injury during the finish of the match after Sexy Star hyperextended or dislocated her elbow using her armbar submission.
Prior to the incident, Sexy Star and Lady Shani, who was also competing in the 4Way match, "were legitimately shooting on (fighting) each other at one point." According to the report, Sexy Star apologized to Rosemary and was rushed out of the arena as tensions were high backstage.
Doctors evaluated the GFW Knockout to determine the extent of the damage. Fortunately, PWInsider reported that Rosemary's injury isn't quite as severe as it had been originally reported through numerous outlets and she is not expected to miss extended time.
Still, Sexy Star's actions were rightfully shunned by a wrestling community that follows the code of taking care of your opponent and trying to avoid injuries at all costs. Here are some notable reactions to the incident, including several of Rosemary's fellow GFW Knockouts.

Sexy Star will never set foot in one of my locker rooms. I hope others follow suit.

It's disappointing to see a "professional" be so careless and wreckless with a fellow worker... All I can say is: KARMA. https://t.co/j892olqUJh

DISGUSTING is just one word. We put our lives in each other's hands. So unprofessional. This is how you work yourself out of the business https://t.co/aELhRMO017

Some people are such huge marks for themselves that they'll never understand the art of the "work." Those people should never be in a ring.

So disgusted by Sexy Star. She used to just be a joke in prowrestling, but she's upgraded herself to a plague. Get out of our ring. #bye

Rosemary may be the most universally loved person on the roster...the whole feed is HEATED.

Surely, there will be repercussions for Sexy Star following the incident.
