Until Brock comes and injures them.
Realistically have them work less matches, or and have them take time off to lesser injury.
They need to seriously look at how much they're having these guys wrestle (aka we don't need weekly 15 minute meaningless midcard matches on free TV) alongside the type of lifts they're doing. 3 guys out with shoulder injuries in quick succession? That ain't normal.

Wrestlers get banged up working 250 dates a year. Not much they can do in reality without major changes to the way they tour which is probably not going to happen.
There has been chatter that some of bigger guys like Cena and Cesaro are risking training injury with big olympic lifting but you can't do much about ring bump injuries or wear and tear, it is the nature of the beast.

nxt vs wwe?
You get more guys on the road and rotate them in and out so most guys are only wrestling 1 sub-ten minute match on Smackdown or Raw alongside the house shows. (They can do promo stuff on the other TV show.) Worked wonders in the attitude era.

Del Rio was a legit wrestler, and a warm body that was expected to at least be on the Main card for WM.
Consider this.. Their current main roster is the following.
These are really the only semi relevant talent that has been given the time of day as of late.
babyface:
Ambrose
AJ Styles
Kalisto
Usos(RR almost made them heels lol)
Neville maybe?
Heels:
KO
Wyatts
New Day
The Trombone
Rusev
Whatever the fuck these two are considered now:
Reigns
HHH
That is a pretty fucking thin talent pool on the current roster with how they have built it up. All of them outside of Ambrose, Styles, KO and New Day need a lot of work in order to once again be considered or start being considered legit Upper Carders.
The rest are just afterthoughts or fucking irrelevant to any fan.
Ziggler
Wyback
Show
Kane
The Outsiders I mean Social Outcasts
Duddleyz
Part Timers
Barack Lazer
Jericho
Maybe coming up
Zami
Apparently in Vinces forever gimmick shit list
Cody Rhodes
If I don't remember someone, its because they are such a nuance on the card that I don't give a fuck.

I swear to god before opening a Wrestling thread, I hope for your Buff Bagwell update
Buff the Stuff needs to be remembered, hopefully a Judy Bagwell on Forklift for her rights as manager are right behind the corner

The fact that the trombone is listed shows how shallow the built up talent pool is.
Its also more over than half the roster
I expect Ambrose v Reigns v HHH at Mania because of the thin roster- they need all the help they can get selling this show.
(meanwhile, in Florida....)

If they are Dutch, upright and breathing they are more racist than your favorite player
Womens division has been pretty good lately, so Charlotte, Becky and Sasha should be highlighted as a positive.
I never like seeing people hurt, but coincidentally and save a few exceptions (Cesaro, Rollins, Hideo) most of the injuries have happened to in ring talent that are not my favorites.

But that equals possibly 1 decent match then a throwaway uber deadly battler royal for Lindas bra.
Wyatts vs Lesnar at Mania. There go the 4 of them.
So they're left with:
Kane
Big Show
Mark Henry
Ryback
Jack Swagger
Ummm...

Yeah but now you can build a proper 20 minute hype womens match for WM rather than a 5 min pee break (that can go to a total divas grudge match of the week)
They could also do a NXT showcase match (which I wouldnt love, but they could)

The more people unable to perform, the more chance there is for a return... right?
Also Paige is back in the ring, albiet in short matches, as of a week or two ago. I'm still astounded Natalya had a broken ankle and didn't realise.
Daniel Bryan is never coming back as long as they are trying to push Reigns as top face. Del Rio is just a vacuum of charisma in WWE. They brought him back to try and get a Mexican star, but it was worthless.

He's never coming back to the WWE, Vince wants him back in other roles but DB has refuse, he think he can wrestle but one more concussion and this fool could be risking his life...

He's not coming back due to wwe being sued for concussions by previous wrestlers, if they werent being sued he would have been back by now. It's all politics and them protecting themselves as a company however it does suck, just let him go.
They aren't going to let go of Total Divas' main event star

lol that is also the sad truth
Oh dear. Ambrose and Reigns are facing Brock in a Triple Threat at Fastlane. Someone wrap those two up in bubble-wrap before Brock suplexes them. The Wyatts better watch out too since it's looking like Bray vs Brock at Mania.

Doesn't sound like a super serious injury, but I don't think the feud was over.
With the way ADR was trying to rip Kalisto's mask off at the Rumble, I expect a mask vs. hair/something match at WM.

Keep pushing Roman Reigns.
Injure Roman and everyone immediately heals, thank you for the clarity!
Yes they do, Roman Reigns vs The Miz.

I don't want to derail the thread but I'm so damn curious. What happened that made moderation of wrasslin threads so scrupulous?
Also to stay on topic, just Cena alone being injured was horrible for them, now all of these must have them really feeling the pressure.

Should be Roman's turn any time now...
I know rio jumps with him but god damn barack is strong.
Is he sidelined or will he work through the injury?
Many times I have heard members of WrassleGAF talk about the company being carried by one man, which is crazy talk, but for the first time ever, it may indeed be true. Those big, broad shoulders of Roman Reigns are going to hold up this company, and stop it from crumbling.
