10 Most Unforgettable Wrestling Spots Of 2023 (So Far)

10. Trish Stratus Hangs From The Cage

Similarly to matches involving stars attempting to scale a ladder to win the day, trying to produce a mesmerising steel cage spot that fans have truly never seen before is a pretty tall order.

However, not for the last time on this list, a set of talented stars were able to somehow do exactly that this year.

Kicking off WWE's otherwise quite forgettable Payback PLE with an almost feud-saving bang, Trish Stratus and Becky Lynch left it all inside of the massive structure in the event's opener.

Watching Stratus be superplexed back inside the cage from up high and both legends pay homage to the likes of Lita and Victoria was undoubtedly a much-needed treat. But it was a moment involving a dangling Trish that left folks with their hearts in their mouths.

Setting up that aforementioned body-breaking suplex into the squared-circle, the WWE Hall of Famer managed to masterfully and subtly lock her legs into the top of the structure before Lynch blasted her off the top.

Firing herself back with an almighty flat back bump to the outside of the cage, fans honestly believed for the briefest of seconds that Stratus was about to take a horrific fall.

Instead, an instantly iconic visual of the battered veteran hanging upside down was born.
