A security guard at a 2013 WWE house show has filed a lawsuit after he says he was hit with a chair. The suit (via Courthouse News Service) names Dean Ambrose, John Cena, Ryback, Ryback, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Kane, Daniel Bryan, Fandango, R-Truth, Cody Rhodes, Cesaro and Damien Sandow as defendants and claims that he was struck from behind with the chair “about the head, neck, and back.”
The plaintiff, Troy Rivers, says he was hired to work an event in the Savannah Civic Center and that his job was simply to “stand with his back to the ring” and monitor the crowd. The hit happened “suddenly, with no warning” and while he believes it was Dean Ambrose who hit him, he isn’t sure because his back was turned.
Rivers attorney 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.”
Rivers claims the incident left him with “serious, significant and permanent personal injuries.” His wife, who is also a plaintiff, says that the incident has cost her “conjugal fellowship” with Rivers and accuses WWE of gross negligence causing “physical and mental anguish, diminishment of his earning capacity, and continues to suffer a loss of enjoyment of life.”
Rivers is seeking unspecified punitive and compensatory damages.
WWE said that they have no knowledge of “any such incident and the security company that hired the plaintiff doesn’t have any record of this matter either. Furthermore, the plaintiff’s attorney has admitted he has no basis to sue the individual defendants named in the lawsuit.”
