I mean i understand some matches may be fixed but when two popular players fight would any of them want to be the loser ? And the damage looks very real or is the only fixed thing the outcome ? Maybe someone from the industrty can answer . Or am i missing something if so put it into the comments and i’ll edit the post.

    WWE and the like are a theatre performance designed to entertain. The fights are choreographed and intended to tell a story. The fighters are essentially actors/stuntmen whose job is to throw eachother around in ways that look exciting but are safe.

    Boxing and sport wrestling are a genuine athletic sport where both fighters are trying to win.
