Seth Rollins has had some bad luck with this sort of thing before (more on that later), but this jarring attack from the stands stood as one of the more prominent in recent history for just how dramatic the scenes were.

Already in a kayfabe dishevelled state, Rollins was being filmed walking to the back when he was speared out of his boots by somebody seemingly running from the side of the stage. The connection was remarkably crisp and you'd initially be fooled for thinking it was part of the planned action based on how long the cameras lingered on the moment.

As it transpired, 'The Visionary Of Drip' was forced to try and counter the unexpected assault with a front face lock until people eventually intervened. To his immense credit, Rollins mocked the moment when he entered later on, pulling mocking poses as he peered out into the distance for other potential wrong-uns.
