3 WWE Superstars who injured themselves and 3 who injured other wrestlers

#1 Sasha Banks (injured Paige)

Paige made her long-anticipated return to WWE TV in late 2017 and brought along Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville with her. The trio was dubbed 'Absolution' and established themselves as heels. On the fateful night of December 27, 2017, Paige teamed up with Mandy and Deville in a 6-Woman Tag Team match. At one point during the bout, Banks hit Paige with a kick, while the latter had her back towards "The Boss".

The match had to be stopped immediately, and the medical personnel soon rushed to the ring to tend to Paige. Paige was out of action for months on end and appeared at WrestleMania 34's pre-show to do commentary during the WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal. Paige announced her retirement on the next night on WWE RAW and was soon appointed as the General Manager of WWE SmackDown. She later managed The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane), and also had a stint on WWE Backstage as a panelist. Paige has had surgery on her neck since then, and chances are incredibly slim of her making a return somewhere down the line.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
