As they did with Braun Strowman and Bray Wyatt at Payback on Sun., Aug. 30, WWE’s done the collapsing ring spot a few times in recent years.
It’s a cool visual, and gets across that the superplex-er and superplex-ee are big boys that land hard.
But as was the case when Strowman and Big Show did it in 2017, the real star of the show at last night’s PPV was the referee.
Charles Robinson, You Absolute Legend!

I’m still partial to John Cone’s dead fall off the apron from the ‘17 version...
... but they both have their charms. And you certainly can’t not give Lil Naitch an ‘A’ for effort. At least WWE found the right person to council Robinson after he threw himself head first out of the ring.
