#3 Flipping out

What a moment.
What a moment.

Braun Strowman vs Roman Reigns was one of the best feuds WWE has produced over the last few years, as everything from the drama surrounding these men to the intensity of their collisions was something to behold. While these two men have cooled down since their meteoric clashes, one can't forget the amount of attention they attracted with all the stunts that made their programme awesome.

The most famous of all the stunts in this narrative was Strowman destroying Reigns in a backstage assault that left fans in absolute awe. Throwing Reigns through tables, chucking him while strapped on a stretcher down a ramp, and beating the living daylights out of the man along the way was just insane.

But the granddaddy of all these stunts on that night happened when Strowman flipped the ambulance which was going to transport Reigns to the hospital. And no one really knew how WWE actually pulled this off on live TV at the time. Well, since then eagle-eyed viewers and word around backstage on how this was pulled off made its way to the internet for all to debate.

Firstly, it's worth noting that unlike the Big Show breaking the ring incident that many believed were real until Show himself stated otherwise, this was quite clearly a work from the beginning, as it's impossible for a human to flip a vehicle such as an ambulance. The truth behind the stunt was that the ambulance was hooked up to some hydraulics system that helped maintain the illusion that Strowman is lifting the vehicle himself.

If you rewatch that segment you would notice that the camera never shows anything on the left side of the ambulance, as that is where the hydraulics are doing the job. Also, you would notice that when Strowman leaves the inside of the ambulance, the doors are open, but when you stop at the 4:13 minute mark on the video below, you can see a shadow get out through the closed doors, which is Roman Reigns getting out before the vehicle could be tossed.

Another thing to note is that the loud noise in the scene is meant to be the sound of the engine of the vehicle, but in fact, it's the hydraulics working to lift it. While Strowman may not be a human capable of lifting vehicles and tossing them like they weigh as much as cotton candy, it's still impressive that the creative team was able to come up with something so memorable.
