Figured i'd look it up and here is what we have

19 matches total this year
1 singles match on RAW
1 tag match on RAW
4 singles matches on PLE's
1 mixed tag match on PLE's
4 dark matches
8 house show matches

So it's even worse when you don't even limit it to singles matches but Raw matches in general, crazy even with the injury factored in

One of the biggest draws on the show, never worked on the show. Crazy.

And i'm seeing people on Twitter already fantasy booking the Rumble return (even though that would be way too far away) pop and winning the title at Mania. Like I don't even expect people to realise how bad her activity is without looking it up because I knew it was bad but I didn't realise it was that bad. I'm gonna look back further soon and see how active she was during her title reign

Yeah you never realize stats until you see them lol. Can’t believe she’s only worked 19 matches.

6th May, PLE singles match - retains title
8th May, singles match - wins (squash)

July 3rd, singles match - retains title
July 25th, singles match - wins (NXT)
August 14th, singles match - wins
August 21st, singles match - wins (squash)
August 22nd, Mixed tag match - loses (NXT)

These were just from when she became champion but she actually had more TV / PLE activity than I remembered for 2023. It looks way better when you look at like that than looking at the matches themselves :lol

She really does get the weirdest injuries between this and kneeing herself in the head​

Her shoulder injury was on herself too.

Rhea is Rhea’s worst enemy

I swear no one has learned from Shibata to stop doing dumbass headbutt spots. And I include every worker under the sun in this statement

Just rewatched the segment to try get a clue which part did it but it's hard to tell. She throws a pretty unprotected headbutt into Raquels shoulder area, takes a codebreaker from Liv and then the headbutt shown in the tweet but the camera angle seems to hide that impact so can't make a call on that.
