The world of professional wrestling has certainly gone to another dimension. Whether it is the in-ring showcase, the extensive travel for engagements outside of the ring, or overall fan expectation, the pressure for a WWE talent to be relevant has increased. While this does improve the hunger for a character to succeed and ascend to the main event level, it also comes with an increased susceptibility to injury.

Nowadays, we see a dangerous amount of talent falling victim to not only minor injuries but situations that are much more costly.
