2. Then Collapses Post-Match

Older fans may recall Shawn Michaels collapsing following a match way back in late-1995. That set piece was designed to sell exhaustion and injury on HBK's behalf, and it worked a treat. All this layering from other wrestlers (both good and bad), Michael Cole and the like has to count for something in 2023.

Time for ol' Sethy baby to do his best Shawn impression.

At first, things would seem fine. He'd manage to outlast Shinsuke in their 'Last Man Standing' war, and Rollins' cherished World Heavyweight Title reign would march on. Then, right as Seth tried to march out of Indiana, he'd deck it and be surrounded by concerned faces.

Once default GM Adam Pearce hits the scene and calls for medical help, something cruel can happen. It's the kind of thing that some will deem premature, but it'd sure rock the boat on Mondays and restore Judgment Day to kingpin status on WWE television.
