I know the outcomes are predetermined, however, serious injury does occur.

I saw a clip of a match where the wrestler landed on one foot and the foot, instead of sliding, stuck. The wrestler’s leg broke just above the ankle.

I’ve also seen stuff that, if the timing is not spot on and the correct spot is not hit, serious injury again will occur.

For instance, I saw a guy do a backflip off the ropes and land across the body of his opponent. A little off one way or the other and the guy on the mat takes an elbow or a knee to the mid-section...or worse.

Yes, injuries do occur, some serious. Dusty Rhodes had to retire because he was one body slam away from being paralyzed. Mick Foley had to retire after that fall from the top of the steel cage, it's a miracle he can still walk. Daniel Bryan made his retirement official due to those concussions he had. He and his wife, Bree Bella reportedly are ready to raise a family, so she most likely will pack it in. And just now it came out CM Punk needs back surgery, so his career is likely over.
