2. Seth Rollins
Lists like this one can admittedly be damaging to a wrestler’s career, as there’s nothing worse for a potential superstar than a reputation for repeatedly working dangerously in the ring. Seth Rollins learned this first hand when WWE Hall of Famer, Bret Hart, started publicly calling him out for allegedly endingSting’s career with a turnbuckle powerbomb, followed by similarly injuring Finn Bálor with the same move.
However, both of these injuries were actually caused by Sting and Bálor, the latter of whom actually spoke out in Rollins’ defense when word started spreading that Rollins was being careless. Sting also claimed that he didn’t blame Rollins for ending his career, and many fans have likewise been able to acknowledge Sting was equally at fault for trying to take a difficult move despite his advanced age and lack of recent in-ring experience.
Rollins also broke John Cena’s nose after a Curb-Stomp gone wrong, later serving as one of the reasons Rollins was later banned from using the move. Rollins has joked about the reputation, using it as a threat during his feud with Kevin Owens by winkingly claiming “dangerous” was his middle name.
