10 botches that could have cost a Superstar his career

#8 Ryback saves Kalisto from certain disaster

Before being released from WWE, Ryback gained notoriety as an unsafe worker. This belief stemmed from the infamous Art of Wrestling podcast episode, which featured CM Punk.

Punk accused Ryback of being frivolous with his opponents, and how he put him in harm’s way.

However, ‘The Big Guy’ can be credited with saving Kalisto’s career in his last match in the company, and as fate would have it, it took place in CM Punk’s hometown.

Kalisto went for a springboard corkscrew plancha on the pre-show of Payback but did not get enough distance to properly execute the move.

Kalisto came close to hitting his head and neck on the ring apron, but Ryback acted quickly, moving forward and catching Kalisto. If it weren’t for Ryback’s quick wits, the whole ordeal would’ve ended in catastrophe.
