Welcome back. A wrestler returning from an injury can be one of the more exciting things to take place on a wrestling show.

That explains some things. There are all kinds of reasons for a wrestler to be out of the ring and a good number of them are health related. If someone is injured, there is very little that they can do to get back in the ring without risking a much bigger problem.
