WWE Superstar Summer Rae has been injured for months, despite staying quiet about the situation … and now the wrestler has finally opened up about why she kept it under wraps.
Pro Wrestling Sheet exclusively reported back in September that Summer had been dealing neck, back and elbow issues that were keeping her from the ring — and now she admits she expected to heal sooner.
Summer explains, “I assumed it would be an easy fix & wouldn’t take that long to get back to normal. That it wouldn’t take this long to not only fix but diagnose as well. That alone is so frustrating.”
“In this business you just go go go & putting your body on the line every night becomes second nature & you don’t think much of it. But that isn’t a normal thing.” Adding, “Our bodies aren’t made to do this. But you forget that when you hear the roar of the crowd! I’ve been so humbled by the overwhelming support towards me on social media & seeing the fans outpouring love & passion.”
As we previously reported, Summer had been in pain for months and stopped wrestling once MRI results determined how bad the injury was. She last wrestled in mid-August.
She closes by saying, “It’s been one of the most frustrating times of my life filled with so many different emotions. Generally speaking, the unknown is scary. But thru the greatest times of uncertainty in my life have come immeasurable things.”

Ex-WWE wrestler Ashley Massaro claims she was sexually assaulted in ’06 at a U.S. military base that WWE sent her to visit … and in new docs filed, she says the company convinced her to keep it quiet.
Massaro filed documents this week to join the head-injury lawsuit that now includes over 50 former WWE employees, and in it mentioned a horrible incident in Kuwait as proof of their negligence.
Ashley claims the assault happened while she was in the Middle East on a WWE sanctioned trip with Maria Kanellis, Jimmy Hart and Ron Simmons. This was not for Tribute to the Troops.
According to the docs, “Upon her return to the United States, she was seen by Dr. Rios who interviewed her about the incident. Dr. Rios reported the incident to WWE executives who soon thereafter met with Massaro to apologize for their negligence but persuaded her that it would be best not to report it to appropriate authorities.”
The lawyer adds, “This incredible situation derives from the WWE’s employment misclassification scheme wherein the WWE (deems itself) neither responsible for Massaro’s safety (despite being on a WWE tour in the Middle East) nor does the WWE deem itself responsible to report or collect data about incidents such as this. The WWE in order to protect its public image and insulate itself from paying for its injured workers prefers to remain silent.”
Before leaving for Kuwait, Massaro gave a now heartbreaking statement to WWE’s website. “Anything can happen going over to the Middle East, but my company takes care of me, and I trust them. I have full faith that I will come back exactly the way I left, if not a little bit better in the heart.”
Read Ashley’s full portion of the document below, which further explains her alleged injuries.

WWE Superstar Goldust says his transgender stepchild was attacked by three men Friday night … and now he’s begging for close-minded individuals to “stop all this hateful crap.”
The veteran wrestler took to his public Facebook page and said, “My step son who is a transgender was attacked last night and I’m f*cking pissed.”
“Grow the eff up and let people live their lives the way they choose.”
He adds, “The three men who attacked and beat her up are still out there. You boys are three lucky individuals that I wasn’t there or you would [be] on life support.”
No word as to where it happened, but there are widespread reports of hate crimes and protesting in America right now due to WWE Hall of Famer Donald Trump being elected as President.
Please take Goldust’s advice and spread some love today.

As noted, Sin Cara and Chris Jericho were involved in an incident on the WWE tour bus this past weekend as the RAW crew traveled from Leeds, England to Glasgow, Scotland. The scuffle started when Jericho confronted Cara, who was annoying the rest of the bus by making noises, and ended with Jericho biting down on Cara’s hand.
It looks like anger management classes aren’t the only form of punishment Cara will receive as he’s been “exiled” to the SmackDown side of the current European tour, according to PWInsider. At one point Cara was going to be sent home from the tour but at the last second, officials reconsidered and “exiled” him to the blue side of the tour.

We noted before that Brooke Hogan recently told TMZ Sports that people from WWE were calling Hulk Hogan about a possible appearance at WrestleMania 33 in Orlando next year. You can see Brooke’s comments in the video below.
The Hulkster made an appearance on Eric Bischoff’s new MLW Radio podcast, which you can listen to at this link, and dismissed Brooke’s comments. Hogan said:
I know if I don’t bring it up nobody will. So anyway, Brooke’s running around on TMZ and made the statement about me and wrestling and WrestleMania. For the record, she needs the big boot to the head. I haven’t talked to anybody about WrestleMania. I just need to put that to rest. I asked Brooke, “What are you doing?” She goes, “Oh, well, I’m just starting it up.” I said, “Thanks Brooke.” It was kind of funny. I said, “No harm. No foul.” It was all in good fun.

WWE Hall of Famer Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Election to become the 45th President of the United States.
WWE talents have reacted to the news on Twitter:
WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champion Rhyno failed to win his bid for House Representative for the 15th District in Michigan.
Rhyno – real name Terrance Gerrin – ran as a Republican. He won just 35.6% of the vote while Democratic opponent Abdullah Hammoud won with 64.4%.
Hammoud reportedly beat Gerin by a margin of 18,097 votes to 9,999.
Rhyno took to his Facebook page and issued the following statement on the election:
The numbers are in and I regret to say I was unsuccessful in my bid for State Representative, 15th District (Dearborn). But I was very successful in becoming closer to my community, knocking on doors, talking with residents, and just forming a bond.
I knew going into this that Dearborn is a Democratic district and it would be an up hill battle, a battle I was willing to take on. Myself and my volunteers created something out of nothing (a campaign), we pushed forward with honor and pride. I’m very proud to of had them in my corner. I’m also proud of my opponent Abdullah Hammoud, we agreed on some issues and disagreed on others. He and his volunteers worked extreme hard and did it with honor. It was a clean race that focused on ideas and issues.
I would personally like to thank every person that voted for me, I’m deeply honored to of earned your support and vote. Thank you!
One of the many things I enjoyed in my campaign was talking at schools in my community, something I will continue to do moving forward. The kids loved me being there and they had great questions. I know I’ve inspired them. Hopefully I inspired you! So go to council meetings, volunteer in your community and just get involved. We all know it’s a great feeling when you make a difference in someone’s life.
So thank you for all your well wishes, and may God Bless us all.
