It's been said that Shane McMahon has a death wish, which would explain his penchant for jumping off of high places and crashing through tables nicely. The latest entry into Shane's catalogue of extreme bumps occurred at Survivor Series, McMahon seemed only too happy to scale the top turnbuckle and hurl himself through the air.

Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton had managed to secure Braun Strowman onto one of the announce tables around ringside. Orton even hit the big man with an RKO, giving the perfect explanation as to why Strowman was dazed for so long. That created a window of opportunity for Shane.

One of McMahon's favoured bumps is an Elbow Drop from the top rope to the commentary desk. An incredible leap, the move actually hurts Shane more than the man taking it. After all, it's Shane-O-Mac's body that suffers the main impact.

Surrounded by a pile of wood and plastic, McMahon and Strowman must have enjoyed the drama their big moment caused. Truthfully, this was much better than Shane taking Braun out face-to-face.
