‘Concussion… Part Of The Job’ – Ex WWE Name Makes Shocking Claims

WWE

Alexis Lete was released by WWE earlier this year and has revealed a shocking conversation about concussions backstage.

Lete was speaking on her own YouTube channel and had described how she was grateful for her time in WWE though wasn’t cut out for the physical nature of wrestling.

She would also reveal that she was close to quitting WWE before her release, revealing a concerning conversation she had backstage, saying:

“Another show happens and during this live match, a girl knees me in the face pretty much. My head hit something behind me.

“In that moment, I was like, ‘something is wrong.’ It wasn’t a bad wrong, just ‘Oh, I rung my bell.’ Ringing your bell is a concussion. ‘I think something happened. I don’t know if it’s bad or not.’

“I took a few days to figure out if I actually had something wrong or not. A few days went by and I could tell I was a little off. I’ve had some concussions before I knew something was not right.

“I go into work. I don’t say anything. Then next time, I’m heading to medical. ‘I’m going to tell them something is weird. I think I rung my bell.’ As I’m walking in someone is like, “Letty, what’s up, how are you doing?’ ‘I’m doing really good, but I’m about to head to medical. I feel like something happened and I feel I rang my bell.’

“He’s like, ‘Oh, you rang your bell?’ ‘Yeah, ringing your bell is still a concussion. It’s still not the best.’ He told me, ‘Hey, that’s kind of part of the job. You get injuries all the time. You deal with them and you move on and get ready for the next thing.’ ‘Oh, okay.’ ‘Don’t go and tell them. Spend another night, think about it, but unless you’re bad and black out, I wouldn’t tell them about it.’ ‘Oh, okay,’

“In that moment. I was like, ‘F this.’ I went home, did my night routine, took my vlog video and was like, ‘I don’t know if this is for me.’ I love entertaining, but I don’t want to entertain at the risk of my body and mental health. I said, ‘I don’t think this is for me.’ The next day, I called in sick to work.”

In November 2023, it was reported that Fallon Henley and Ricochet were believed to be in WWE’s concussion protocol.

AEW’s Jon Moxley has previously spoken on the subject of concussion protocols and the form that they should take.
