We can now confirm that Tamina Snuka suffered a concussion against Natalya on Superstars after Natalya delivered a clothesline to Tamina.

As noted earlier here on the website, WWE has a new policy for dealing with concussions. If a Superstar or Diva even shows signs of a concussion, they are immediately pulled from in-ring action and must past an ImPACT concussion test before they are cleared to return.

Even after wrestlers pass an ImPACT concussion test, they are evaluated for signs of post-concussion syndrome (headaches, nausea, disorientation). Once they past an ImPACT test and WWE doctors determine they are not showing any post-concussion symptoms, they are then cleared to return.

Good. Focusing on your personell's health is never a bad thing.

Jesus there has been a lot of concussions recently anyway I don't see how this could be turned into a negative, it's a great decision all round.

This is a great idea following the increase in concussions recently

Adding more stuff to help wrestlers when they're hurt is always good.
