5 WWE botches that led to serious injuries

#3 Joey Mercury's face

Joey Mercury had a rough time at Armageddon 2006

One of the most brutal botches in WWE history came back at Armageddon back in 2006 when The Hardys, MNM, Paul London and Brian Kendrick, as well as William Regal and Dave Taylor, all collided in a fatal four-way match.

One of the spots in the match saw Jeff Hardy jump from the top rope onto the leg of a ladder, but as he did the spot, his brother Matt held Joey Mercury's face down and the ladder then ricocheted into his face and broke his nose and orbital bone.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Mercury was out of action for a number of months following the injury but never fully recovered since he was released from his WWE contract just three months later. Mercury has since returned to WWE numerous times and was even part of J&J Security with Seth Rollins back in 2015.
