If the two Raw main events between Braun Strowman and Big Show have taught us anything, it’s that wrestling fans are THIRSTY AF for a collapsed ring spot.
They finally got their wish tonight (April 17) in Columbus when, after several teases, Braun got Show up for a Superplex to close the night.
One person who probably wasn’t as excited was referee John Cone - who gets straight-up catapulted to the floor when the mat hits the ground and the ropes he was leaning are suddenly gone.
Here’s a video and a couple GIFs of the moment:

Strowman got up and walked away, pulling the straps down and RAWR-ing some stuff.
Now, somebody check on poor John Cone - and all those fans in the arena and watching at home marking out over finally getting their favorite spot.
UPDATE! They found him, but he’s banged up - and not too sure what happened...
