What are the causes of death for WWE wrestlers?

As with any form of entertainment, there is always a risk of injury when participating in WWE wrestling. In fact, over the years, there have been several documented cases of WWE wrestlers who have died as a result of injuries sustained during a match. While the company has implemented more safety measures in recent years, accidents can still happen.

WWE wrestler deaths are typically caused by one of three things: blunt force trauma, asphyxia, or vascular damage. Blunt force trauma is the most common cause of death among WWE wrestlers, and occurs when a wrestler is hit with a hard object or thrown against a hard surface. Asphyxia can occur when a wrestler is choked or suffers from an obstruction in their airway. Vascular damage is usually the result of a wrestling move that puts excessive pressure on the neck or another artery.

While WWE does its best to keep its wrestlers safe, accidents do happen. If you are a fan of WWE wrestling, it is important to be aware of the risks involved so that you can stay safe while enjoying the entertainment.
