A former security guard at the Savannah Civic Center in Savannah, Georgia claims that he was hit with a steel chair at a WWE live event in 2013. According to Courthouse News Service, the complaint was filed in late June against WWE and some of their Superstars.
Troy Rivers (the guard) says he was unexpectedly hit “about the head, neck and back” with a chair at the event. His suit names John Cena, Ryback, Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Daniel Bryan, Cesaro, Fandango, Damien Sandow, Cody Rhodes, Kane and R-Truth. Rivers is unsure who actually hit him, believing it may be Ambrose.
River says that he was “serious, significant and permanent personal injuries.” River’s wife Mary is also a plaintiff in the suit and claims that the incident has deprived her of “conjugal fellowship” with her husband.
His attorney Kevin Elwell said:
“We haven’t reviewed the video from the event yet, so we’re bringing in everyone on the card that night. Only one guy did it, but we don’t know which one yet.”
WWE has yet to comment about the matter.
