5 Times WWE's Stage Was Destroyed

4. Rhyno Gores Chris Jericho Through The Original Smackdown Screen

Two years after its debut, the original SmackDown arena was gored out of existence by Rhyno.

It's unclear why WWE felt the need to write the set off TV instead of just changing it, but let's be glad they did because it led to this beautiful spot.

Chris Jericho was walking back up the ramp after his match when he was attacked by the Alliance's Rhyno. After suplexing Y2J on the top of the stage, the former ECW Champion waited for Jericho to get up - and then gored him right through the Smackdown screen.

It is so visually satisfying watching the whole screen getting obliterated in one fluid motion, with only the ovals and ramp left of the stage. It also helped in putting over the destructive power of Rhyno.

The way they go through it, somehow makes it seem safe yet impactful at the same time, which is the perfect pro wrestling combination. It also led to the stylish 'Fist' Smackdown arena debuting a week later.
