10 Big Bumping Wrestlers Who SUFFERED For Their Art

10. Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens has a technical brilliance that many lesser competitors would gladly rest on, but is willing to put his body on the line with risky spots, elevating his matches to the next level. Most recently took an insane bump on the first SmackDown of 2021, when Roman Reigns threw him from the Thunderdome set to tables below. This, unfortunately, resulted in spinal contusion and bruised kidneys for the former 'Prizefighter.'

Owens has built a reputation around his big bumps. Last WrestleMania, Owens took a plunge from the WrestleMania sign, delivering an elbow drop to Seth Rollins. Prior to that, Owens grabbed headlines divulging his initial plans for WrestleMania pre-Performance Center. After seeing the huge pirate ship in Raymond James Stadium, Owens instinctive urge was to jump off it during the climax of his match.

Owens high flying stunts are a constant source of awe for wrestling fans. In July 2020, he lit up social media for a spot he pulled in a PPV pre-show match against Murphy. Owens described it on Twitter as “that jump-up Moonsault thing I never manage to hit”, and, despite pulling off the high-risk manoeuvre, admitted he almost slipped.
