The WWE and McMahons have a mentality of “the show must go on”, regardless of what the Superstars are going through. This was apparent in the heartbreaking, tragic accidental death of Owen Hart during a pay-per-view, and it continues to this day.

The wrestlers are expected to perform even if they aren't feeling well, and even after surgeries in their recovery period.

Superstars like Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka and dozens of other retired Superstars hold WWE responsible for neurological injuries they claimed to suffer by participating in its bouts and have even sued them back in 2016.

“WWE placed corporate gain over its wrestlers’ health, safety, and financial security, choosing to leave the plaintiffs severely injured and with no recourse to treat their damaged minds and bodies,” the complaint said.

The lawsuit seeks compensatory and punitive damages, as well as improved medical monitoring.
