WWE referee visibly scared after accidentally dropping unconscious star out of the ring at live event

A WWE referee had a hard time rolling an unconscious star out of the ring following a live event match. The star in question is Finn Balor of The Judgment Day.

Ever since winning the Intercontinental Title at WrestleMania XL, Sami Zayn has been defending it regularly at live events. He successfully defended the championship at the latest live event in a Fatal Four-Way encounter against Gunther, Chad Gable, and Finn Balor. After Zayn won the match, Balor was seen lying on one side of the ring in an unconscious state. Balor kept selling and the WWE referee, Aja Smith, decided to roll him out of the ring.

She had an incredibly tough time doing so, though. In the end, she accidentally dropped him on the ring floor and was visibly scared wondering if he was hurt during the fall.

Balor was also involved in a wholesome moment with Sami Zayn at one of WWE's recent live events. After Zayn won the match, he offered his hand to a fallen Balor, who decided to accept the offer and shared a heartfelt moment with the champion.

Fans on X/Twitter went into a frenzy over the unexpected visual as Balor is a heel while Sami is one of the biggest babyfaces in the company. Many fans on social media speculated that Balor could turn babyface somewhere down the line.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
