WWE Superstars put their bodies at risk every time they step inside the ring. While WWE Superstars have suffered all sorts of injuries, from torn biceps to almost breaking their neck, there have been a few incidents of them getting one or more of their teeth knocked out during a match, making for an embarrassing situation.
WWE Superstars have to be in front of a camera so often, be it during the WWE shows or other appearances, hence you can imagine how important their facial features are to them. As we have seen, WWE Superstars like The Miz have been very cautious about keeping their "moneymaker" faces safe from any such damages. But pro wrestling is a physical sport and things like these happen.
Let's take a look at five WWE Superstars who have lost a tooth (or more) during a match. Be sure to comment below and let us know if you remember any other similar incidents.
#5 Charlotte Flair
Starting the list with the Queen of WWE, Charlotte Flair. Yes, the 12-time Women's Champion has suffered the horrible feeling of getting her teeth knocked out during a match.
The incident took place during WWE's European Tour in 2018. At a Live Event in Oberhausen, Germany, Charlotte Flair took on then-SmackDown Women's Champion, Carmella but unfortunately got some of her teeth knocked out during the course of the match. After the match, a fan wanted to take a picture with her, but Charlotte Flair said:
I can’t take a picture, I lost my teeth!
The fan was, of course, shocked to hear that. In the video above, you can see Charlotte Flair covering her mouth while taking the picture with the fan.
Even after losing her teeth, the way Charlotte took it lightly and made sure the fan got what she wanted just shows how great of a performer she is. A future WWE Hall-of-Famer for sure!
#4 Cesaro
The Swiss Superman (or Swiss Cyborg) Cesaro is considered to be pound-for-pound the strongest WWE Superstar on the roster. We've seen his amazing in-ring skills and sheer strength with which he lifts up WWE Superstars much heavier than him. Without a doubt, he is one of the most underrated Superstars on the WWE roster.
But do you remember the time when he lost his front teeth during a match? The incident took place at WWE No Mercy 2017, where Cesaro and Sheamus (The Bar) challenged then-RAW Tag Team Champions, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose. In what was undoubtedly the match of the night, all four Superstars tore the roof off the place.
Rollins and Ambrose retained their titles, but the talk of the night was Cesaro losing his teeth during a spot with Dean Ambrose where the former went flying into the turnbuckle post and had a nasty landing. You can check the video below showing the exact spot where Cesaro lost his teeth.
WWE later released a video of Cesaro receiving stitches following his nasty injury at No Mercy 2017.
#3 Jeff Hardy
Jeff Hardy is as much of a daredevil as he is a WWE Superstar. With a career full of insane high-flying moments, Jeff Hardy is a legend who still has enough gas left in the tank to perform for WWE week after week.
At WWE Payback 2017, The Hardy Boyz (Jeff and Matt Hardy) put their RAW Tag Team Championships on the line against The Bar (Sheamus and Cesaro). While the Hardy Boyz were successful in retaining their titles, Jeff Hardy got one of his teeth knocked out during the match, thanks to a kick from Sheamus.
Of course, losing a tooth is nothing when you compare it to the severe injuries that the Charismatic Enigma has suffered throughout his WWE and wrestling career in general, but it still felt uncomfortable to see him get his tooth knocked out like that.
After the match, Matt Hardy did issue a warning to Sheamus on Twitter by saying, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth". And well, it was just a few months after this when the Celtic Warrior's partner, Cesaro lost his teeth during a match as well. All Hail Broken Matt Hardy!
#2 Natalya
Next up on the list is the Queen of Hearts, Natalya. She is one of the few veterans on the current women's roster of WWE and also happens to be one of the most talented and toughest WWE Superstars.
During a Live Event in 2016, Natalya was competing against Alexa Bliss and Carmella and, unfortunately, lost both of her front teeth during the match. She rushed to a medical facility after the match for dental work, and it was Renee Young who accompanied her to the dentist.
During an interview with Scott Fishman of Channel Guide Magazine, Natalya had the following to say about losing her teeth:
I tend to have a lot of problems with those two teeth, because when I was younger I was in an accident on my bicycle and that impacted them. So they have always been really loose. It was their day. There is a dentist on every corner in Las Vegas, so basically I finished the match and worked through it. I had great girls I was in the ring with. I'm OK. I'm really tough. I'm not sure when I hurt anymore. I was back the next day. I just couldn't stop laughing after it happened. I was like, 'Oh my God! My two front teeth are out.' Of course I grabbed Renee Young and said, 'You're coming with me to the dentist to handle this.
Natalya has won the Divas Championship and the SmackDown Women's title during her career. She is married to former WWE Superstar Tyson Kidd and continues to be a huge part of WWE's women's division.
#1 Mick Foley
The final entry in the list is the Hardcore legend of WWE, Mick Foley. His Hell in a Cell match against The Undertaker is one of the most popular matches in WWE history. While we all remember the bumps Foley took off the top of the cell, he also lost a few of his teeth during the course of the match.
While talking with Cigars, Scars, and Superstars, Mick Foley spoke about his missing teeth after the aforementioned WWE Hell in a Cell match. He said:
The two top teeth are like a trademark look. Even when I met Collette, she preferred the way I looked without them. So, I would only put the tooth in when we were fighting. I had them at the time I had an ’84 Chrysler Lebaron.
They still had the ashtray back then and I would keep the teeth in the ashtray. ‘I’ll put the teeth in,’ and it was literally, ‘Fine if that’s the way fine.’ ‘It is the way it’s gonna be, alright.’ The other two were casualties of the Hell in a Cell match and so they were put back in.
They were knocked out in the Hell in a Cell. They were put back in, right? Over the course of time they started decaying and rotting. They weren’t new. They were the same teeth that were knocked out, but they were inserted back into my mouth.
In 2016, during his run as the General Manager of WWE RAW, Mick Foley's teeth fell out during his in-ring segment with Sami Zayn. Kudos to Zayn for not breaking character on Live TV and bursting into laughter!
