The likes of Andrade 'Cien' Almas, Brie Bella, Killer Kelly, Tony Nese, Gran Metalik, and Johhny Gargano were involved in some insane spots this week on Raw, SmackDown Live, NXT, the Mae Young Classic, and 205 Live.
#1: Rhea Ripley's perfectly timed dropkick
Rhea Ripley faced MJ Jenkins in first-round action last Wednesday in the second Mae Young Classic. MJ Jenkins used her speed to gain the advantage at first. She then went for a springboard move (presumably a springboard dropkick) and Rhea Ripley gained control by catching Jenkins in mid-air with a perfect dropkick out of nowhere, dropping Jenkins to the floor. Ripley would get the win later with the Pumphandle Powerbomb.
#9 Killer Kelly's brutal dragon sleeper
Killer Kelly faced Meiko Satomura in the main event of the first episode of the second Mae Young Classic. Killer Kelly was going for an avalanche belly to back suplex before Meiko Satomura knocked her off of the top rope. Kelly then quickly got back up on the top rope and fully locked in a Dragon Sleeper while on the top turnbuckle. You could see the bend in Meiko Satomura's back and neck. While Killer Kelly would take Meiko Satomura to the limit in this match, she would ultimately be defeated by 'The Boss' via pinfall with the Death Valley Driver.
#8 Brie Bella's botched suicide dive
The Bella Twins made their return to in-ring action last Monday night on Raw. While it looked like it was Sarah Logan's fault the first time Brie attempted the suicide dive, it was all Brie the second time. Brie Bella seemed to crash and burn, while barely touching Sarah Logan and Ruby Riott.
Corey Graves was right when he said that she didn't get all of it, in fact, she got none of it. Maybe going for a suicide dive in her first match in 2 years (not counting the Royal Rumble) wasn't the wisest idea. Nikki Bella then hit the Rack Attack 2.0 on Liv Morgan right after that to get the win. It's a miracle that Brie Bella didn't hurt herself when hitting that suicide dive and will still be able to compete at Hell in a Cell.
#7 Aiden English's Apron Front Facelock DDT
Aiden English has recently started using the Front Facelock DDT. This week he teamed with his friend Rusev against the Usos and SAnitY in a triple threat tag team match. The winners would face The Bar next week to decide who are the #1 Contenders to the SmackDown Tag Team Titles.
Aiden English took out Jey Uso with a brutal Front Facelock DDT on the apron. After Jey Uso landed head first on the apron, Rusev hit Eric Young with a Machka Kick to get Rusev Day the win. We will see if they can pull off the same against the Bar next week on SmackDown Live.
#6 Kevin Owens returns to Monday Night Raw.
Kevin Owens "quit" WWE recently and it was shocking to see him back so soon. Bobby Lashley was having a meditation segment with Jinder Mahal when Kevin Owens made his surprise return. Owens hit Lashley with a superkick, He then hit Lashley with his always brutal Apron Powerbomb. The 'PrizeFighter' seems to be heading into a feud with the 'Dominator' and can possibly have a match against him at Hell in a Cell.
#5 Andrade 'Cien' Almas's double moonsault
Andrade 'Cien' Almas and Daniel Bryan faced each other on SmackDown Live once again last Tuesday. Both Superstars pulled out all of the stops in this matchup. Andrade 'Cien' Almas went for a moonsault off of the top rope but Daniel Bryan rolled out of the way. Andrade somehow landed on his feet and then hit Daniel Bryan with a standing moonsault for a near fall. Bryan and Almas stole the show before Bryan hit Almas with the Running Knee to get the win.
#4 Johnny Gargano's botched cannonball off of the apron
Johnny Gargano faced Velveteen Dream in the main event of NXT. Velveteen Dream was going for his Elbow Drop when Johnny Gargano rolled onto the apron. Dream followed him and Gargano hit him with a superkick to knock him off of the apron.
Gargano then hit him with a cannonball off the apron but did not get all of it as he hit more of the floor than the Dream. Gargano hit the floor back first and I'm not even sure that he even touched Velveteen Dream. But thankfully, he was still able to complete the matchup. Dream got the win with a Dream Valley Driver out of nowhere.
#3 Tony Nese's high-flying combo
Tony Nese faced Gran Metalik on 205 Live this week. Nese showed us that he was not only a powerhouse when he did this beautiful high-flying combo. He hit Metalik with a beautiful Moonsault Plancha. He then quickly threw Metalik back in the ring and hit him with a 450 Splash. This required a lot of athleticism from Tony Nese and I was convinced that he would get the victory. However, Metalik kicked out. This was one of 2 insane spots from this match.
#2 Gran Metalik's Apron Hurricanrana
Gran Metalik and Tony Nese had an excellent match on the latest episode of 205 Live. Nese was standing on the apron when Gran Metalik ran at him, jumped over the top rope, and executed a hurricanrana off of the apron onto the floor. While the move was a little botched, it still looked amazing and brutal. This was an incredible match that ultimately ended with Gran Metalik getting the victory with a tightrope walking elbow drop.
#1 Dolph Ziggler and Elias throw Seth Rollins into a police vehicle
After Braun Strowman defeated Finn Balor in the main event of Monday Night Raw, Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler, and Drew McIntyre tried to attack Balor. The Shield then came to the rescue. However, every heel on the Raw roster (except the Revival) and Drew Gulak (from 205 Live) came out to attack the Shield.
During the attack, Dolph Ziggler and Elias threw Seth Rollins into a police vehicle (that the Shield arrived in). Seth Rollins' arm crashed through the truck window and shattered the glass. Rollins was even cut open by this brutal throw. We will see how the Shield will react to this attack on the upcoming episode of Monday Night Raw.
