Former WWE wrestler Ashley Massaro recently joined the huge class action lawsuit against the WWE in regards to concussions and WWE being negligent towards their roster's health.
The biggest revelation was her injury happened during a Tribute to the Troops show but not because of something happening or related to an actual match.

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.”

In a bit of irony, she had an interview with WWE's website prior to the trip saying she wasn't worried about her safety since the company would do their best to protect her during the overseas trip.
