Scary moment WWE star's 'fake' move goes horribly wrong
This is not how WWE is supposed to work.
Fans have been left shocked and angry after a seemingly ‘staged’ move resulted in a very real injury.
On Tuesday’s edition of WWE Raw, the Bella twins teamed up with Natalya to take on The Riott Squad in a six-person tag-team match.
Brie Bella was in the ring against Liv Morgan when she attempted her signature “Yes kicks” – a series of kicks to her opponent’s chest that are supposed to look like they’re hitting her in the face.
Unfortunately for both wrestlers, one of the kicks actually did catch Morgan straight in the face, immediately knocking her out cold.
All six women were left stunned by the mishap as Morgan lay unconscious in the middle of the ring.
Bella improvised and attempted a quick pin, before dragging Morgan over to her team’s corner so she could ‘tag’ in a teammate.
Wrestling Observer later reported that Morgan had suffered a bad concussion and would be out of action for some time.
Bella took to social media after the match to apologise to her opponent.
Every match on #Raw is an opportunity for us to entertain our fans. Our intentions as @WWE Superstars is to win the match, never injure our opponents. Thinking about @YaOnlyLivvOnce tonight. ❤️ -B

However fans were fuming over her ‘sloppy’ wrestling.
That’s not the problem. The problem is that you’re a reckless worker and an obvious danger to whoever you’re in the ring with. Please stick to reality TV. #WWE #RAW

That’s not the problem. Her recklessness and sloppy in ring work could potentially seriously injure whoever she’s in the ring with. We saw that with Liv. She could’ve been seriously concussed and therefore be out for a significant amount of time

It’s been 10 years. @BellaTwins haven’t improved and never will

Brie Bella knocked out Liv Morgan on #Raw last night. She busted Miz open at Hell in a Cell. She’s becoming a real liability in the ring. #BrieMode #WWE
