Wrestling might be predetermined but plenty can still go wrong in the ring. WWE’s No Mercy event was memorable for many reasons. Some people will never forget when Braun Strowman took one F5 and was pinned clean in the middle of the ring. Other’s will always remember when John Cena was defeated by Roman Reigns and gave an emotional speech after the show.
But for Cesaro, he’ll never forget WWE No Mercy 2017 because it was the night when he got his two front teeth were knocked out of his head.
It all happened during a spot like one he’s done countless times before. But when Dean Ambrose launched him into the corner, the Swiss Superman soared too high and ended up clocking his face on the ring post.
This is sometimes called a “Slaughter Spot” named after the famous match in MSG between Sgt Slaughter and Pat Patterson which saw Slaughter taking the same bump and busting his head open. That match in The Garden was a bloodbath and so was the Raw Tag Team Title match at the Staples Center.
Each time Cesaro took a bump after losing his teeth he bled even more. But even though blood was pouring out of the open wounds in his mouth Cesaro pressed on and didn’t hold anything back. It was a very impressive display because he was certainly in pain.
After all was said and done, Cesaro posed for some selfies online and posted them on social media. But he still needed to get checked out by WWE’s medical staff.
WWE graciously provided fans with some proof of how hard they’re working to fix Cesaro’s pearly whites as soon as possible. It really looks like he did some serious damage and it’s going to suck getting it fixed. After all, nobody wants to visit the dentist especially for the kind of procedure Cesaro is bound to need.
