#3 The Undertaker's broken Orbital Bone

The Deadman came out on the most injured in this fight

If fans were asked to guess who suffered from a broken nose, broken orbital bone, and concussion during a fight between The Undertaker and Rey Mysterio, most would have put their money on the little fellow.

At the SmackDown match on May 25, 2010, Mysterio landed full force on The Deadman’s face with a seated senton, which caused him above mentioned injuries. It is another matter he defeated Mysterio by way of the Tombstone piledriver.

Earlier in 1995 also, The Undertaker had suffered from a broken orbital bone and was out of action for several months.

#2 John Cena's Pectoral muscle tear

Cena's injury was so grave that he took time off to recover before appearing at Royal Rumble 2008

It was on October 1, 2007, that John Cena suffered a complete tear of his right pectoral muscle during a match with Mr. Kennedy. Early in the match, he went for an awkward hip toss which tore his muscle. He braved it out by fighting the entire match, clutching his arm to his side.

He defeated Kennedy, but Randy Orton intervened. Orton hit Cena with a table and knocked him out. His injury was so grave that he took time off to recover before appearing at Royal Rumble 2008.

The effect of this injury always haunted him for the rest of his career.

Stone Cold Steve Austin's Neck injury

The Rattlesnake was affected by the injury he suffered from Owen Hart throughout his career

Owen Hart and Stone Cold Steve Austin fought for Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam 1997. A piledriver by Owen pinned Austin's head into the ground. Everyone in the audience thought he might be paralyzed for life. Somehow, he got up and pinned Hart to win the championship.

He spent most part of his career in severe pain because of this neck injury. He underwent several surgeries, but his neck and ailing knees forced him to hang up his boots.
