10 Most Violent WWE Matches Of The Modern Era
7. Cesaro Vs. Sheamus - Clash Of Champions 2016
Cesaro and Sheamus are the kinds of wrestlers who legitimately hurt each other when facing off. Their styles and intensity bring out strikes with such incredible force that they'd rattle men less accommodated to their way of working.
Throughout their best of 7 series in 2016, they went out to the ring with the intent to impress audiences with their willingness to walk headfirst into punishment. There are few men as resilient as these two and their masterpiece at Clash of Champions 2016 cements how tough they both are.
The match was the best of the night by a significant distance, with the future tag partners enrapturing the crowd with every exchange of strikes or power moves. It always came back around to Cesaro's uppercuts and Sheamus' booming punches to the chest, with each man's signature offence getting rougher and more relentless as the match went on as they started to take ridiculous risks to try and pull out the victory.
The natural crescendo was one of the scariest and yet most thrilling moments in recent memory, with Cesaro's botched suicide dive almost breaking his neck and cementing the match as a war that neither man was capable of winning.
