7. Ashley Massaro Breaks Her Fibula (Raw, 2006)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCciXWExXHE There are some injuries that just sound painful and in an early 2006 episode of Monday Night Raw, Diva Search winner Ashley Massaro suffered one such injury when she broke her fibula during a Divas Battle Royal. A central figure in thbudding storyline between Trish Stratus and Mickie James, Massaro suddenly found herself out of action and in need of surgery to repair the broken bone. So badly injured was she that the fibula needed a steel plate and numerous screws to properly fix it. Sidelined for months, she still managed to play a role in the Stratus-James saga, becoming the kidnapped hostage of James in her attempt to play mind games with her idol-turned-rival. Ashley would return to the ring, pose for Playboy in 2007 and even compete for the Women's Championship against Melina at WrestleMania 23 but injuries and personal demons led to her departure in 2008. It was a disappointing end for a woman who appeared to have a bright future in the industry.
