Former WWE Superstar Maven Huffman is pleased that WWE takes concussions far more seriously now than when he was working in the ring.
During a recent video from his YouTube channel, Maven recalled his own experience with concussions while competing for WWE. He said,
“During my time, I got a few concussions and the only way I knew that were concussions is when I went backstage and was with Chris our trainer, or with a doctor that was on site. They would do a couple of motor function testing but there was no testing available. They would just almost in passing tell you, ‘Yeah, you probably got a concussion,’ and then that was the end of it. The fact that they moved to concussion testing, it might not be perfect, but it is a few steps better than what it was.”
WWE began taking concussions far more seriously in 2007 following the double-murder suicide of Chris Benoit that rocked the wrestling landscape.
During the Survivor Series 2023 post-show press conference, Triple H spoke highly of WWE’s medical protocol and stated that “we don’t mess around” when it comes to risks.
