WWE cleared in latest lawsuit regarding concussions

The WWE was recently involved in another concussion-related lawsuit in which dozens of former Superstars claimed the company was responsible for their injuries over the years.

 


 

Notable names that found themselves facing off against the company in the courtroom included Chavo Guerrero (Jr & Sr), Mark Jindrak, The Barbarian, The Warlord, One Man Gang, Road Warrior Animal, Paul Orndorff, and Muhammad Hassan.

However, Judge Vanessa L. Bryant of the US District Court of Connecticut dismissed all concussion-related lawsuits against the corporation. PWInsider revealed the ruling in which Judge Bryant deemed that the WWE was not liable for the head and brain injuries sustained by its former and current employees. To quote Bryant:

The evidence does not support a finding that WWE knew of a risk that repeated head injuries incurred while performing as a professional wrestler could cause permanent degenerative neurological conditions.
