10 Most Dangerous Spots At WWE WrestleMania

10. Shawn Michaels Piledrives John Cena Onto The Ring Steps - WrestleMania 23

Love John Cena or hate him, it can't be denied that the man would do anything for the show. Over six months into what would wind up a year-plus WWE Championship reign, Cena defended the gold against Michaels in a close-to-perfect encounter to close out the Detroit 'Mania. In typical 'for the good of the match' mentality, Cena let Michaels rattle his brain. The tide turns when Michaels drags a dazed Cena to the floor, disassembles the ring steps, and piledrives Cena onto the heavier base. The impact onto perforated steel is such that the back of Cena's head is actually split open. Such hardway juice from an already dangerous move (onto reinforced metal, no less) requires a lot of trust in the man you're working with. Had it been someone less precise than Michaels, it could have been much worse.
