10 Most Insane Wrestling Spots Of 2020

Have you ever woken up feeling as if your spine has been mangled into a thousand tight knots? That's how Damian Priest must have felt following his loss to Finn Balor at NXT TakeOver: In Your House.

With the steel steps set up perfectly behind him at ringside, 'The Archer of Infamy' found himself knocked from the apron, landing spine-first on the brutal steel as everyone watching around the world winced in pain for him. That he then had to continue the rest of the match against 'The Prince', which saw him take not one but two Coup de Grace stomps, feels like a punishment in itself for the former Punishment Martinez.

Coming into the 7 June TakeOver, Balor vs. Priest didn't have an especially spicy build. Damian had been unveiled as Finn's mystery attacker, and that was that. Of course, the match was always going to deliver, however, you never expected anyone on the card to have taken such a hellish bump (maybe aside from NXT's resident spotfest enthusiast Johnny Gargano).

Priest is lucky, actually, that he didn't suffer any serious damage to his back here. It wasn't a simple grazing of the steps - it was a full-on back bump. Ouch.
