15 Most Insane Wrestling Spots Of The Week (Nov 8)
10. Pele Kick On Apollo
Apollo Crews was victorious a few episodes ago in a Battle Royal on NXT to be granted this title shot against Finn Balor. This seemed like a rush to the top for Crews, which I'm not complaining about, but he definitely fast-tracked ahead of some other wrestlers. Anybody who watched this match knows that a couple of bitter competitors played a factor into the ending, but that'll be addressed in a subsequent entry.
The action in this match was great, as illustrated by the sequence of moves leading into this Pele Kick that popped the crowd. Finn Balor went for his Coup de Grace finisher, but Crews rolled out of the way to avoid it.
Crews planted a boot square in Finn's face, who looked like he was knocked out. Before Balor collapsed to the ground, he pulled out this one desperation strike to his opponent behind him.
