Professional wrestling, generationally, is an increasingly dangerous profession. It's wrestling . This is a world where world-class athletes are being repeatedly dropped on their noggin and having their limbs contorted in such maniacal angles that Zack Sabre Jr.
looks like a pasta chef. Even by WWE's lighthearted sports entertainment standards where full-force Tomohiro Ishii-esque headbutts to the cranium and spiking Piledrivers are outlawed, the squared circle is a dangerous world; Money in the Bank 2024 was proof of that. Chelsea Green's nauseating tumble from atop a ladder was the sort of spot WWE's female talent pool had been prohibited from doing for decades.
The closest you'd get to anyone replicating Green's crashing and burning would be Candice Michelle faceplanting the mat in 2007, and even then, that was a mistake that could have happened to anyone, male, female, or otherwise. Standing alongside Chelsea as some of Money in the Bank '24's would-be wounded warriors were Carmelo Hayes, who took a God-awful Sunset Flip Powerbomb onto a ladder that didn't give way in the slightest, Chad Gable, who hung upside down from a ladder by his leg, and Tiffany Stratton, who narrowly avoided a concussion on several occasions. They all walked out injury-free, miraculously.
The same cannot be said about...
20. CM Punk CM Punk, almost as if to say he's in on the whole 'Fragile Phil' mockery, tore his right triceps while competing in his first WWE match in a decade. He's been shelved .
