But it later emerged that three years with the wrestling organization could\u2019ve had a much darker side. In 2016, she joined a class-action suit accusing the WWE of concealing the risk of injuries that could lead to neurological damage. In a 2017 affidavit, she alleged that she was denied training, forced to perform while injured and said she had been brutally raped on a goodwill tour of Kuwait. After her death, WWE issued a statement saying Massaro apologized to company officials in October 2018 for participating in the lawsuit (which was dismissed in 2018 by a judge claiming many of the statutes of limitations had expired).<\/p>\n<p><span><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zxEIt5GM-j0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;autohide=2&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent\" title=\"Video\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Nearly a year later, 10 days before her 40th birthday, she was found unresponsive in her home in Smithtown, LI, and pronounced dead on the way to the hospital, according to a report in the Blast.<\/p>\n<p>The video Massaro appears in, which was filmed between December 2018 and January 2019 features a tune, \u201cChoose Song,\u201d which was written by Orlando, 42, after his musical hero, Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell, hung himself in 2017.

Lex, her daughter, got a little emotional, but there were smiles because they got to see their daughter doing something different from what she was known, which was being in a wrestling ring.
