Social media influencer Sallie Grace’s experience at the ongoing WWE Tryouts in Orlando turned out to be scary, as she suffered a concussion during an improv drill.
On January 15, Sallie took to Instagram to reveal that an unexpected hit to the head during a drill left her sidelined with a concussion. She also detailed her condition following the unfortunate incident, revealing that the concussion left her disoriented and “pretty bummed,” admitting that she is struggling to keep her “train of thought.”
Grace also revealed that she wasn’t the only one who got injured during the tryout session.
“We were doing improv, and they told us to pretend swimming. Bro, I think I sound so stupid right now. I got hit in the head because someone was on the metal ropes and were swinging it, and swung it and it hit the back of my head really hard. I can’t even keep my train of thought. And I feel stupid because I don’t remember what I’m saying. I forgot who I’m talking to earlier. This morning, I had a headache when I walked into the Performance Center, and I knew something wasn’t right. We started taking bumps for the first time, and I just felt my brain sloshing around, and I’m like, ‘I can’t continue this or else, you know, there will be long-term effects.’ I got tested, and I have a concussion.
“One medic said, ‘All right, now go talk to the first medic that you talked to.’ I’m like, ‘First medic? I’ve only talked to you.’ And I completely forgot I had a conversation with that dude. I was packing up my bags to leave, and I was just there for 10 minutes with my mind blank, like, crying because I didn’t remember what I had brought to the gym. And then I got in the elevator to the hotel, and I was up on the first floor, and I was in the elevator, and I pressed the first floor thinking I was going to go up, and I just wasn’t going up. So my brain is so out of it right now. This is day three of five. A couple of people have gotten concussed, and one of those couple of people were me. I’m pretty bummed right now, but I’ll keep you guys updated. I hope that made sense. I’m so out of it.”
