Later, during one of those double feature replays, it was possible to see Ali's back crack against Andrade's left knee as he performed a flip dive spot to the outside. That had to hurt, and it gave the announce trio a chance to talk about the athletic tape covering Ali's body post-Money In The Bank.

It didn't look planned however.

The pained expression on Ali's face afterwards didn't look like selling. He was legit grimacing after taking a hard knee to the spine. This was brutal to watch in slow motion; Ali rag dolled around in agony for a few seconds after it happened.
