As a professional wrestler, you must constantly be vigilant while performing because a single miscalculation might lead to a lifetime injury. Even though many people around the world regarded WWE as scripted. However, many wrestlers suffered lifelong injuries and pain while performing.

WWE was brutal prior to the PG era, yet performers produced many hard matches without getting hurt. However, some of wrestling’s top performers have suffered the most severe injuries.

WWE legend Stone Cold Steve Austin had one of the most well-known wrestling injuries. Austin was the biggest wrestler during the Attitude Era. Austin suffered a horrific neck injury in 1997 as a result of Owen Hart’s pile-driver, which led to his early retirement.

Paige was forced to quit due to an injury
