We all knew that the ladder game between Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes was going to be brutal. The staircase matches are always a violent and forceful issue with a high risk of injuries, but add the fact that it was for the WWE championship in Royal Rumble and it was quite clear that everyone involved were going to put their bodies at stake. They did. The two former main events of Wrestlemania gave us a classic game of all time, and in the end, Owens was so bloody and mistreated that I kept asking if I was really injured. It turns out that I was not the only one.

There were a couple of absolutely vicious blows during the main section of the party, more prominently a Fisherman Buster Ko delivered to Cody Outside the strings and towards the ladder, but it was in the final moments where things became really ugly. Rhodes gave Owens a blow of Alabama on a ladder that was placed between the ring and the speaker’s table. For those of you who are not experts in wrestling or of the great fans of Bob Holly, the alabam Go ahead for his back to land directly on the mat, although in this case, Owens’s back landed directly on the stairs. The movement caused an audible panting of fans. You can see it below …

Now, I have seen a lot of fight in the last 35 years. He knew as soon as they established that staircase that someone was going to be beaten through him. I worried, of course, when I saw that they used Alabama’s slam and how aggressive it was everything, but it really didn’t trigger any alarm until later, when the game ended a little. Normally, the great wrestling matches are full of desperate and chaotic final moments, but Rhodes simply entered the ring and casually ascended by the stairs while Sami Zayn and several staff members attended Owens. There was not a single second in which Ko seemed to get up and dispute the end. He simply lying there, lifeless and bloody, while a paramedic with white gloves reviewed it.

Even after the game, Owens continued to go there while Cody Rhodes celebrated his victory. For a while, it seemed Literally be folded on the ladderthat led to an army of tweets of fans like this …

Even after they took him out of the stairs, however, he did not break the character. He simply lying there looking close to death while the paramedics worked on him and transported him out of the sand. It had to be so bad that Rhodes, despite being the greatest favorite of fans on the list, began to obtain a great rejection of fans on social networks about celebrating with their titles while Ko was in such a scary state. Some fans were Comparing it with Homelander from The boys, And others talked about how much a heel was seen, especially when he raised his championship belts on Owens.

The fact that WWE was so intentional with his camera shots was what finally realized this almost certainly planned from the beginning. It is not natural Shoot someone’s lifeless body from an ascending angle while someone else celebrates only in the background. Add the fact that we do not receive any real -life injuries about Kevin Owens at the press conference later, and I am quite sure that there will be no long -term problems. However, there should be many stories to get out of this, starting with the fact that This may be the time when the good boy Cody Rhodes finally turns to the dark sidethat some fans have been crying out to include me.

Anyway, I want to shout Kevin Owens very fast. He has been putting his body at play and delivering great stories for WWE fans for years. During that time, he has rarely championships or is at the top of the card. On the other hand, it has been a battle horse that has improved every thing it has done, whether it has been in a combination of ladder like this, A main event mania place with a aging of Stone Cold Steve Austin in that way or has been in a hilarious graph of mid -card where it is trying to find out if two different fighters are brothers or the same type. It is one of the most important types of the entire list, and I hope WWE finally presents the trigger one day and gives him a long career for the title. He deserves it.
