Today we present you Top 10 Close Calls In WWE That Could’ve Gone WAY Worse
10. Randy Orton Lands on a monitor
As the WWE entered WrestleMania 30,
there was plenty of speculation on the main event.
Daniel Bryan had become one of WWE’s most beloved stars,
and was merely two matches away from becoming
WWE World Champion.
Toppling Triple H earlier that night,
the main event was now a triple threat bout,
pitting Bryan against 2014’s Royal Rumble winner Batista,
and reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton.
A huge main event, men gave their all,
and during one moment, the two Evolution members teamed-up to take out Bryan on the outside.
As Batista set up Bryan for a Batista bomb on the announce table, Orton caught the Yes! Man in an RKO,
but landed on one of the announcers monitors.A scary spot that led to Orton writing in pain,
the Viper was very lucky to avoid any serious back injuries.
9. Undertaker gets lit up by pyro
The Undertaker has always been known for having incredible entrances,
which have become a crucial part in his mind games with his opponents.
But at Elimination Chamber 2010, the Deadman paid the price of such an
epic entrance, when he made his way to the ring to enter the barbaric structure.
During his entrance, the Deadman was blasted with his own fire
with the Phenom’s jacket temporarily set on fire.
A constant professional, Undertaker continued with his entrance,
quickly getting out of the fire and entering the Elimination Chamber.
Despite the awful experience, the Phenom was able to compete,
but was handed water bottles by nearby referees when he wasn’t on camera.
After the match which saw Undertaker lose the World Heavyweight
title to Chris Jericho, the Phenom was rightly ticked off, telling Vince McMahon “I better not ever see that guy again,”
Sure enough, the Pyrotechnician was fired by McMahon the next day.
8. Brock hurls car door at the audience
When you’re an athletic beast like Brock Lesnar,
it can be sometimes hard to determine your own strength.
And when you’re still fuming after being robbed
of the WWE World Heavyweight champion
it’s a recipe for disaster.
This is exactly what happened in 2015,
when Seth Rollins, who had cashed in Money in the bank
to capture the gold at WrestleMania 31,
tried to appease the Beast with a brand new car.
Instead of accepting the gift though,
Lesnar absolutely demolished the vehicle,
swinging at it wildly with a fireaxe
and smashing the windows.
In one moment of superhuman strength,
the Beast even ripped off one of the doors,
and threw it to one side.
This being Lesnar though, the door ended up
sailing into the crowd though thankfully avoided hitting
what would have been the unluckiest member of the WWE Universe.
7. Undertaker’s Suicide Dive at WrestleMania 25
When Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker faced off at WrestleMania 25
the world was watching.
After having iconic moment
after iconic moment at the show of shows,
The Heartbreak kid hoped to cement his legacy as the greatest of all time
by handing the demon of Death Valley his first Mania loss.
As the momentum shifted constantly, both men found
themselves pushing their bodies further, though in one instance, everything changed.
With Michaels on the outside of the ring,
the Phenom hoped to seal his opponents face
with a suicide dive, though Michaels moved out of the way.
With nowhere else to go, The Undertaker crashed down on the unfortunate cameraman Michaels had pulled in front of him,
who faced the impossible task of catching the Deadman. Landing badly on his neck,
it was a miracle the Undertaker was still able to continue, and would eventually
beat Shawn, going 17-0
6. Titus World Slide
The 2018 Greatest Royal Rumble was a truly huge event.
The first major WWE event in the company's decade-long deal with Saudi Arabia,
the show was main evented by the historic
50-mam Royal Rumble, the largest match
in WWE history.
And whilst Braun Strowman was the last man standing after the dust had settled,
fans will always associate the match with Titus O'Neil instead.
Entering the match at number 39, everything was going fine for the former Tag Team Champion,
until he slipped running to the ring,
sliding on his belly under the ring.
As the Commentators couldn't help but laugh
and show replay after replay,
the fall could have been much worse.
Though Titus emerged from the underside
of the ring unscathed,
he definitely got lucky as just a few months later New Japan star Yoshi-Hashi
would have a similar fall but emerge from under the risk a bloodied mess.
5. HBK’s rib-cracking moonsault
Shawn Michaels is known as Mr. WrestleMania for a reason,
as he has always gone that one step extra
at the showcase of the immortals.
But at WrestleMania 24,
Michaels faced one of his toughest challengers
in the legendary Ric Flair,
who had been forced to win every match or retire, per an edict by Vince McMahon.
Though Shawn idolised the Nature Boy,
he also made it clear that he wouldn’t hold back
from retiring Flair, and
seemingly had the match won.
With Flair laid prone on the announce table, the Showstopper set up for a moonsault, though as he flew, the wily Flair got out of the way. As if that wasn’t bad enough,
Shawn hadn’t gotten all the elevation on the moonsault, meaning instead of landing on the table
his ribs cracked off the edge of it.
Though the Showstopper would win the match, and end Flair’s career,
he definitely walked away from Orlando worse for wear.
4. Orton Throws a Singh brother on his head
When Jinder Mahal challenged
WWE Champion Randy Orton for the title at Backlash 2017
many fans were sure
this would be a cake-walk for the Viper.
Mahal, who had only returned to the company the year prior,
had almost always been a jobber in WWE,
but didn’t head into Backlash alone, enlisting the help of the Singh brothers.
As someone who has had his own henchman in Legacy,
Orton knew just how big a threat the Singhs could be,
and quickly took to work neutralising the pair.
Unfortunately for Samir, this meant a release
back Suplex from the Legend Killer onto the announce table.
A dangerous spot already, Orton over rotated the young star,
as Samir landed straight on the top of his head,
as even the usually stoic Viper couldn’t help but grimace at the sight.
Despite Samir being taken out of the equation,
Mahal would have the last laugh, defeating Orton
for the title in one of the biggest shockers in recent history.
3. Nia breaks Becky’s face
There hasn’t be an act hotter in recent years in WWE than Becky Lynch.
Winning the RAW and SmackDown Women’s Championships at WrestleMania 35,
The Man has gathered herself a legion of loyal fans,
though looking back, all of this may never had happened.
On the RAW before Survivor Series 2018,
Lynch led a SmackDown invasion,
which saw the women of team blue go up against
their red brand counterparts.
During the scuffle though,
Lynch would suffer a broken nose and a concussion at the hands of Nia Jax.
Though Lynch was forced to withdraw from her match against Ronda Rousey at Survivor Series,
the image of a bloodied proud Becky standing in the crowd instantly made
the already popular star even more beloved.
Though Lynch has now become one of the most significant women’s wrestlers of all time,
it’s scary to think just how different things could have been.
2. Orton nearly rips his knee
When Randy Orton met Kane in a street fight on a 2011 edition of SmackDown,
it was only a matter of time before the two former World Champions brawled to the outside.
As the two battled out of the ring,
both men looked for any nearby weapons to gain the advantage,
with Orton eventually finding himself on top of the announce table.
There, Randy Orton was ready to pounce on the Big Red Machine, but didn’t check where he was walking, as he put his foot through a hole where a monitor had just been.
Collapsing through the table at an awkward angle,
it’s incredible that Orton was able to get up and carry on competing,
somehow doing no lasting damage to his knee.
1. The Deadman and Mankind make history
When The Undertaker and Mankind faced off at King of the Ring 1998,
fans didn't know what to expect.
The pair had only been feuding for a few weeks
but fans knew both
would push themselves to the limit in the third-ever
Hell in a Cell match.
Starting the match on top of the cell,
the bout is now iconic for Mankind being thrown from the structure,
leading many watching to believe Mick Foley
had died on live TV.
Instead of ending the match though,
Foley returned to the ring,
and even found himself back on top of the cell.
Whilst the first fall off the cell had been planned,
the second fall, this time through the cell due to a devastating chokeslam,
wasn’t meant to happen.
As the Cell gave way, Foley was sent crashing to the ring below,
and if that wasn’t bad enough, the impact of the fall caused an steel chair to fall with him,
crashing on the Hardcore legend’s face.
