There are few things more painful for pro wrestling fans than watching those pesky announce tables fail to break. Part of that comes from knowing the wrestlers themselves will be frustrated, laying there on the arena floor exhausted and knowing they may have to repeat the spot.

Kevin Owens decided to do a retake of his Frog Splash to Roman Reigns on this pay-per-view. Scaling the small wall that helps separate the ring announcer and timekeeper from the ringside area, Owens then performed his Splash onto a prone Reigns. Sadly for all involved, the wood and plastic propping up the announce desk refused to budge.

Undeterred, KO tried again. This time, he was successful and the commentary desk decided to play ball. Credit must go to Owens, because he recognised that the first bump wasn't dramatic enough. There needed to be that familiar crunch as the table splintered around Roman and himself.

On this occasion, Kevin Owens got away with repeating the idea. Fans wanted to see it, and the WWE Universal Champion gave it to them.
