10. Enzo Amore's Payback Concussion Occurred When His Head Hit The Mat

Who knows what the outcome may have been at Payback had Enzo Amore not suffered a concussion. There's a fair chance he and Big Cass would have become the top challengers for the WWE Tag-Team Titles, but it was not to be. Enzo's injury cut the match drastically short, and The Vaudevillains were named default winners.

During WWE's own replays of the incident, Amore's eyes noticeably rolled into the back of his head as he fell from the ring. Colliding hard with the ropes, the tag-team specialist looked like he'd been knocked senseless. Afterwards, castigating fingers were pointed at Simon Gotch for being reckless.

Speaking to Jonathan Coachman and ESPN, the recently-returned Enzo stated that it wasn't the ropes that caused the problem. Indeed, he smacked the back of his head violently on the ring canvas before tumbling out of the ring, and that was the bump responsible for the concussion.

The ropes probably didn't help, but they weren't the main problem, as suspected by many fans on social media at the time of the incident.
