Actually, it is. In order to keep on doing what you love (in this case, pro-wrestling), you have to treat your health very seriously. With the amount of information we know about concussions these days, being intelligent is a must. The WWE won't take the chance and allow performers to work while having a concussion. Do me a favor, go watch League of Denial. It would further proves why concussions should be taken seriously in high-impact professions (the NFL and WWE come in mind). After how they handled Daniel Bryan I doubt anyone is seriously running to management saying they have concussions. I'm with Doobie here. The mindset of the athlete isn't longterm. They're like an addict. It's one high to the next. Getting back in the ring and on TV is that fix for Sasha. Daniel Bryan was the exact same way. To the point where WWE had to literally step in and say enough. It's WWE's job to police these kind of injuries to the best of their ability. Athletes play hurt all the time. They want to be "out on the field." Very few of them are thinking about what life will be like when they're 50. The NHL is dealing with this kind of situation nightly. If something looks like a concussion, even a little, they go to the dark room. WWE needs to be the same way if they really want to lockdown these issues. What do you expect, everything about us is psychological. There is a reason why people would work with a concussion. Once they got into that grind, it becomes an addition to them. Doesn't matter if their WWE superstars, NHL players, and even NFL players. In the case of Daniel Bryan, the WWE didn't want a performers death happen under their watch. Concussions have become the nature of the beast in high-risk professions (pro-wrestling hockey, and American football).

Concussions have become the nature of the beast in high-risk professions (pro-wrestling hockey, and American football). I don't think anyone is debating that we should all be taking concussions seriously. Athletes are going to ignore the repercussions if it means being out there and performing though. Athletes aren't going to apply logic, most of them anyway. Not until our entire society changes, and we're not there yet. In fact, we're kind of a long ways away if we're talking youth generations being born into our concussion conscious world. Athletes are going to make emotional, passionate, decisions based on what they want out of a situation. What they want is to play. That, to me, is why it has nothing to do with making an intellectual decision. People do stuff all the time knowing the consequences of negative actions. People know smoking gives you cancer and still smoke. People know drinking and driving can kill you and others. It still happens everyday. Hiding concussions may lead to problems in her life 10 years from now, but she may be knowingly ok with that decision. For you and I, that may seem like a dumb decision but for her it could be totally worth it.

I got multiple concussions while playing high school ball.
I hid one, and to this day after having at least 3, I know it'll give me issues the older I get. I can become very forgetful at times, occasionally my eyelids will twitch(not enough to visibly notice, but I know it), I have light sensitivity, especially at night.
Concussions are serious business and I wouldn't Sasha, or anyone else to try to hide them. Do yourself a favor and get well, it's all fun and games when you're young, but I want her to be able to function as she gets older and be able to remember things about her life.

- Dave on WOR this morning.
Only he could take two paragraphs to say "I don't know", but it seems pretty serious.

"Sasha Banks’ injury could potentially impact the company’s plans for SummerSlam. Banks’ injury, which came during a six-person tag team match on May 15th in Charlottesville, Virginia, is a concussion.
According to sources, Banks is hurt enough to keep her out of action for a little while. She was slated to face Charlotte for the WWE Women’s Title at SummerSlam and while that is a long way away still, the fact that the concussion is “significant” means that she might not be able to make it back in time."
I think its safe to say that she won't be back any time soon.
