That’s Serious: AEW Star Currently Out Of Action With Back Injury, Needed Wheelchair

March 1, 2023

It’s a violent sport. There are all kinds of ways a wrestler can get hurt in the ring, but if they can get through a match, the trick is to hide their injuries as well as possible. That is one of the hardest parts, but it can make the stories about how the wrestlers made it work all the more impressive. That was the situation again recently, as an AEW star was a lot more injured during a match than she let on. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Farewell: AEW Star Reportedly Leaving Company After Three Year Run Back on the January 13, 2023 Rampage, Tay Melo and Anna Jay were defeated by Willow Nightingale and Ruby Soho in a street fight.

February 14, 2023

It can happen to anyone. There are all kinds of injuries a wrestler can undergo and some of them are not as obvious as others.

November 30, 2022

That’s a rough way to go. Wrestlers take a lot of risks every time they get in the ring, as wrestling is certainly not the safest sport in the world.

Update On Randy Orton’s Injury Status

September 16, 2022

It might be a bit. Injuries are one of the great equalizers in wrestling as you never know when you are going to see any wrestler go on the shelf for a very long time. Anyone can get injured at any given time and it becomes a matter of waiting with a hope of a return date in sight. That is the situation with a top WWE star and it seems like we could be waiting for a long while. Randy Orton has not wrestled since the May 20 SmackDown, after which he was attacked by the Bloodline. The attack was designed to write him off of television as Orton was suffering from a back injury.

Orton has been referenced by Matt Riddle during his absence, with Riddle still using Orton’s offense during his matches.

It’s Not Like TV: WWE Doing Something A Bit Strange With Riddle’s Injury Storyline

August 3, 2022

It’s not entirely the same. There are a lot of ways to present a feud in wrestling and some of them have been used in a variety of different forms. One of the most common is to have a wrestler injure someone they are feuding with and that is something still being used today. The latest instance took place last week on Monday Night Raw, but you wouldn’t know that at other events. Last week on Monday Night Raw, Seth Rollins attacked Riddle, resulting in Riddle suffering a storyline neck injury. Their scheduled match at Summerslam was indefinitely postponed, though Riddle attacked Rollins at Summerslam.

Chris Jericho Opens Up About Major Medical Issue That Led To Hospitalization

That could have been worse. There are all kinds of injuries that can put a wrestler on the shelf and you never know how bad things can be until you get a better diagnosis. As many times as you can see a wrestler get hurt in the ring, there are other times when something goes wrong that you might never see.

Jericho opened up about the situation during his Talk Is Jericho podcast, revealing that he was suffering from blood clots and had a pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lungs). Jericho talked about performing at a show in Newcastle, England and having trouble breathing. This led to a hospitalization and several appearances being canceled as Jericho recovered. The clots have since been removed, allowing a full recovery. Opinion: This is one of those things that is absolutely ..

That could have been worse. There are a lot of ways a wrestler can get hurt and put on the injured list as a result.

Longtime WWE Star Announces Departure From The Company

June 11, 2022

It had to happen eventually. Wrestlers have a fairly unique career path, as they rarely have a long time on top. At some point they have to find something else to do and it can often be harder than it seems. If a wrestler gets injured and can no longer get in the ring, their options are even more limited. That seems to be the case again and a longtime WWE star is making her exit. WWE’s Paige has announced that she will be leaving the company on July 7, ending her run that started in 2011. Paige was forced to retire from in-ring competition in 2018 after suffering a second major neck injury, which took place less than a month after her return from over a year away from the ring.
