10 Worst Timed Injuries To Wrestling Champions

[@coopernut]

"Is there ever a good time to get injured?" Triple H missing the invasion

[@AJK1DD]

Oh shit, that might be the only case where it's actually a good thing. Can't think of any othe- *Jimmy Uso ,2020* Oh, well I mean yes

Dang. That’s really kinda true. 😂😂😂

[@frodijr]

CM Punk - Punk has said he broke his foot diving into the crowd immediately prior to his match with FTR, and then wrestling the match on the broken foot is what did the worst damage to it. Also worth mentioning that even if there was no fight at All Out 2022, he would have had to relinquish the belt anyway because he fucked up his tricep in the match with Moxley and he had to go into rehab for it

[@BadCaseOfSerpes]

Exactly. So that's why they came up with the whole "locker room braw with The Elite" angle

[@unoriginalandrew]

I'd never registered this until now but Daniel Bryan beating Triple H, Orton, and Batista at WM30 is more impressive than Jericho's wins over Stone Cold and The Rock in the same night.

[@dominicmorales619]

It sucks that Finn never had another world title run since 2016. Let's hope it'll happen in another year or two

[@TheMargateMan]

He will get another one under HHH, almost certainly. Titles will become 2 again and I'm sure he will pick one up at some point. He's too big a star to not win a Rumble or a chamber

[@nzuzovilakazi901]

@@TheMargateMan have you seen how many matches he's lost? Dolph is only around to put people over and he's happy with that. His time was up a long time ago and let's be honest, the last time DZ was truly relevant, was the last time he was world champion, which was now almost 10 years ago. Maybe the United States or Intercontinental, hell maybe even the NXT Championship again but definitely not the world title. That's about as likely as CM Punk returning to WWE which at this point seems more likely.

[@willdallas53]

@@nzuzovilakazi901he’s talking about Finn Balor, goober.

[@QUHerald]

I know it's not a championship but Mr Kennedy being injured after his MITB win still stings sometimes

[@logankerr8090]

Boogs injury at Mania has got to be one of the worst, if it wasn't for his injury, I truly believe that him&Nakamura were suppose to win on that night but the performers had to think on the fly

[@StealingYourWiFi]

Crazy to think Dolph cashing in was 10 years ago this March.. Damn shame honestly, guy should have been a mega star years ago.

[@grey1288]

Poor Batista with the injury bug when he was supposed to have a run with a championship and to broke the camel's back, the 2014, althought he wasn't injured, he returned and booked at the wrong time and was supposed to hold the gold at Mania 30 and unfortuntaely, it was out of his elements and did not deserver the boos that he received that time. Also came here first before Shawn Michaels commenting something in a wrestling channel's new uploads.

[@nasirthesenatejohnson6935]

I saw a sign at No Mercy 2007 that said "I'm glad that Cena got injured" XD

[@matttibos2562]

The Rollins injury was annoying. His first reign was fantastic and it would’ve been nice to see what more they could’ve done with it

[@rhedosaurus2251]

It's so fitting how Undertaker's longest and best reign as WWE Champion came as a result of the man who, at the time, he hated the most, got injured.

[@hib6076]

Dolphs injury hurts the most. I feel like he could've been a certified main eventer had that push not broken down

[@haydendivine8412]

Shawn dropping the belt before WM 13 was the best thing for WWE. I don't think we'd have gotten the Austin Era without that Bret match.

[@--thatbih]

I would've but Steve Austin in 97 when he broke his neck. Just imagine the IC reign had he not broken it and a possible lengthy career. Also imagine the 5 star bangers he could've had in the 2000's with the likes of Eddie Guerrero, Krispen Wah, Kurt Angle and Triple H. Bro altered his wrestling style so he didn't have to worry about his neck too much yet still managed to pull damn near 5 star classics. That Monday Night RAW match with Krispen Wah is still considered one of the best Raw matches of all time

[@BillyRamirez]

0:28 Hah! I’m the yellow blur on the left. You can see me notice myself on the screen in the broadcast.

[@triplea116]

2nd time by a joint. Plus whatever sabu had on him.

[@neighslayer768]

Not WWE, but honorable mention to Masahiro Chono. 20 years in wrestling multiple cracks at the IWGP heavyweight title after winning a record number of G1s. And when he finally wins wrestling's most prestigious belt, he has to vacate it less than a month later thanks to the neck Stone Cold broke a decade prior.

[@beney8157]

Poor Finn...... Hope he wins the title which he never lost

[@veryananduren8513]

The Tommaso Ciampa entry hurt like hell. For an instant, i had forget about it.

[@coreypayne1208]

I blame Vince for calling him up and basically sabotaging TO: NY

[@theycallmedom4157]

It was Dolph’s 2nd reign as WHC.

[@samdunne1990]

Everyone always forgets his 10 minute first reign 😂

[@cole003f]

hhh vs umaga at no mercy wasn't an impromptu match, it had been booked for the ppv

[@LHRKiiDfLaSh]

Honestly the ziggler one was pre mature on wwes part they could’ve had him do the typical heel thing and had his opponent jump through multiple hoops to get a match with him until he was recovered but Vince being Vince didn’t wait

[@jamesblevins5088]

I'm just starting the list so he might be included but Magnum T.A. should be on the list. He wasn't champion but he was being groomed for the belt.

[@MasterOfViewership]

Butlertron: Nice Job. You really *CRACK* Uh . . . never mind. Really thought that gold would be with you for a long time . . . WES-LEY. Bryan: It's Bryan. Danielson if you're an ROH guy

[@davidrohde2636]

Never really a fan of Awesomes but he wasn't the reason he left for wcw, Heyman and ecw owed Awesome and many other performers for several months previously and he couldn't keep working for free. So off he went

[@Hundo_Mo]

Honestly, the most career altering injury was probably Dolph. If that never happened, he could have become an Edge-like main eventer

[@Jerome-Boateng]

It's been 10 years since that injury. If he was ever gonna be a star, it would've already happened...

[@always-alicia]

Austin at SummerSlam 97… how is that not on here? It literally cut the dude’s career short… granted his big run still happened, but think of Austin vs Goldberg in 2003… never happened because of Austin’s injury

[@handleunavailable]

Finn, Dolph, and Daniel Bryan better be 1, 2, and 3. Edit: Dolph should've been way higher.

[@NarsUzumaki]

Orton v Batista At WM 22 For The World Heavyweight Title could have been a fire 🔥 idea

[@Handsome_Black]

Anybody notice the audio was not synced up after entry #9? They'd show the entry name and then he says "number 9, etc. Like several seconds later lol

[@agentorange1156]

The Universal championship is so stupid. It just shows how out of touch the WWE was when it was invented. Has to he grander then the world dammit!

What's a belt? You mean championship... right?

[@codyweaver7546]

Who are you more afeaid of, Brian Brian or Daniel Danielson?

[@VinnyXwolf]

It was technically Dolph's 2nd World Title run. Vickie Guerrero had given him the belt on a Smackdown and he lost it that night.

[@optimus2008]

"Then came that fateful trip to Ireland." Wait.. so you're telling me he didn't meet Becky there?

[@zanethind]

I would've loved to see Daniel Bryan's Intercontinental Title reign flourish

[@samdunne1990]

“This was Dolph’s first ever World Heavyweight Title reign”- Technically his second although the first did just last about 10 minutes.

[@anointed6386]

I fully agree with 1 and 2 being what they are. Both were reigns that would have cemented them as top guys. Glad Danielson made it to that level, but Finn never recovered imo.

[@APH1991]

"Let down by a joint." LOL.

[@vanessastegall]

Nope. Injuries are awful and that’s coming from someone who is very injury prone.

[@itsOasus]

I was actually at the house show where Batista got injured. It happened at the Turning Stone Casino in Verona, NY. WWE has never been back since. They stick to Syracuse and Utica now.

[@Nbflowers1989]

Cultaholic? Best wrestling channel on KZbin? Without a doubt.

[@multiyapples]

Nope.

[@Nbflowers1989]

Predicting Finn Balor as #1. His main event push has never recovered.

[@ajdynamo6866]

Wasn't Triple H supposed to face Umaga at that pay per view anyway?

[@cardboardbox4093]

i reckon cena was gonna lose to orton at no mercy anyways but the injury just turned the story of the title into scrambled egg on that night

[@gamesretweets9979]

When it comes to Seth Rollins, Ireland giveth but also taketh.

Roman definitely would've beat him at Survivor Series and apparently he was supposed to face HHH at WM 32, one year earlier from one they were actually supposed to face off.

[@mlm2284]

poor finn...

[@Macephtopheles]

CM Punk broke his foot diving into the crowd and has admitted as much in several interviews since then so not sure why "either during the Double or Nothing main event or the 6 man tag match he took part in a few days later" is being posited there? As he said, he banged it on the guard rail during his entrance diving into the crowd and "pulverised" the bone from doing the match on the injury he'd gave himself.
