Leva Bates looks set to miss around 8 weeks of action after breaking her ankle.
Leva Bates, the former NXT star known as “Blue Pants”, confirmed via her Twitter that she has suffered a broken ankle. The injury occurred during her match at an FIP event in Florida on Friday night.
Bates took to twitter to update her fans and also apologise as she will no longer be able to make any future dates this month.
I broke my ankle last night. It seems I will be out a month; I'll know more once I see the Orthopedics. Im sorry for missing upcoming shows

Although not as bad as originally thought, Bates is looking likely to be out of action for around eight weeks. During this time she will still be appearing for Ignite Wrestling on April 22 in Fort Pierce.
Leva provided a further update for her fans on her Twitter page a few days ago:
Quick update on the ankle: no surgery needed. I got an anime looking boot on it, but I might be out 8 weeks. Keeping positive about it tho 🤘
