Health issues are one of the major reasons why several wrestlers ended their careers early. Edge, Paige, Daniel Bryan, and others needed to retire from wrestling after serious health scares and injuries. Although both the Rated-R Superstar and Bryan made their comeback, Paige is yet to do so.
Among retired wrestlers, Triple H, Ric Flair, and The Undertaker were the ones who recently went through some serious health concerns. While The Game had issues related to his heart, Flair was in a medically induced coma. The Undertaker was injured during his match against Goldberg. Staying healthy while performing is a major point.
