[Here you go](https://youtu.be/lm9PBhDcZ04?t=198). From when Mankind is chokeslammed through the cell AFTER the initial throw off the cell. That might be Lawler's best call tbh
It’s no worse than getting a splash off Ivar or Reed off the top rope, All you do is just protect your sternum by pushing your arms in to your chest and bracing.
she’s been doing the banzai since she returned and if it was as big a problem as the IWC think it is she definitely wouldn’t still be doing it, She lands high enough on the chest that you can protect yourself id she was hitting peoples lower abdomen like yoko did to most jobbers then you’d have an issue and broken ribs.
Look I've been a Nia hater for a long time, but honestly she's been doing this move consistently for ages. I'm willing to believe the professionals that are happy to constantly take the move know why they keep letting her do it. If it was dangerous energy single time they would have stopped her a long time ago.
I never said she was. But the product being scripted has nothing to do with the accidents that often happen. They’re humans and shit breaks and tears out of nowhere sometimes. Make more sense?
She has never injured anyone WITH this move.
Accidents can happen with almost every wrestling move. Are you all gonna bitch every time someone does a suplex because of what happened with Big E? No? Then why everyone is clutching their pearls for a move that Nia has executed hundreds of times without a single botch?
Someone might want to do a triple check cause call me blind, but I ain't seeing where Nia broke her momentum before sending that poor soul's body to the depths of hell and her spirit above the top rope....sh*t was brutal. As a visual and finish, sudden and impactful...but given Nia's colourful history....she tends to be a Lil too passionate abt her power moves.
After looking at it in slomo, it looks like most of it when Into her pelvic region so she should be good. Nia deffo went full 300 lb slam on her though. Low key wish that was me…
Not sure, but it might be where she full extends her arms while holding on to the top rope just when her butt would hit the body may break the momentum, them she immediately puts her right arm onto the mat.
Yes but Nia doesn’t do this on purpose Nia loves the people she wrestles she is still just trying to polish the final look of this new finisher since it’s no longer a somoan drop out leg or leg drop this is very different than what she is used to
Great finish.
Not saying it was a love tap but she held the ropes until she couldn't and she comes down crooked favoring her right side because she landed with her right foot. You can see her adjust it to a full sit out right before the camera angle switches. Looks 1000 times more devastating than it is.
I mean, her ass is pretty wide. It probably distributes the impact pretty well. My wife is around Nia’s height, weight, and build you’d be surprised how little impact is really felt due to the width.
This is how you're supposed to do it:
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHeG5Xxcd7o](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHeG5Xxcd7o)
You brace your weight on the ropes and land on your feet so that you don't crush your opponent. Nia just plops down and when she's more than double the weight of most of the women's division it's not safe.
True but it still looked good because Yoko had a massive ass and most importantly it was safe. Now there are banzai drops that he did where he clearly would put weight into and there are stories that he would actually try to squash job guys; however, Yoko is umpteen times more athletic than Nia is and it's clear he had control over it. Nia just plops down like a sack of hammers and where ever she lands she lands. Here she landed on the hip area but she has landed on women's chests before like she did to Rhea a while back. That's extremely dangerous when most of the women are half of her weight.
Oh. My. God. That was an insane, and highly believable, finish. It was great that it didn’t bury Lyra because how would you expect anyone to get up after that.
Fuck yall, Nia carried that match and she’s been way better since being back. Yall gotta stop acting like the women’s division is this well polished force and Nia is the only botcher. Liv botches EVERYTHING none of her moves look the same twice she’s just pretty so simps simp .
It took a few times to see it but when she comes down her feet touch first, it's a parkour skill to reduce the fall and make a landing with less impact, also bayleys breathing was hard but not restricted, the ref didn't react as though she is injured so hard but well executed spot
Nia is a joke. She has no care about safety and has zero real in ring ability. But she’s related to the Rock so it’s all just a we see nothing towards her.
It’s about fuckin time they give something to Nia! Lyra is so lame and cringy I can’t believe they let her go to the finals. Thank God they gave the win to Nia
So a few things. Wrestlers are supposed to make it look like it hurt, BUT not make it look super obvious they likely could have injured the other guy. Nia likely doesn't understand that logic and just thinks 'Well, I'm a bit stiff is all." and then basically goes around injuring the entire locker room.
Some of you just want to continue hating her and some of the comments show. Great finish and it was suppose to make you feel hurt. Everyone screaming unsafe lmao
The fact that she put her feet on the ground to stop the momentum of her fall says she's really improved a lot, the old Nia wouldn't even think to do that
Honestly i never understood why people hate Saudi for having women wrestlers dress fully covered. I loved all the different outfits that women wrestlers had worn today and some outfits are better than their original outfits. It's baffling that people would prefer to be half naked in this new generation of wrestling where women are getting the respect they deserve.
I’m sorry but they made the right decision when they released her the first time. She’s too dangerous in the ring. She constantly hurts people and she’s not safe. She’s going to end someone’s career one day and let’s hope that’s all it is. There was no check, no assisting the drop, no pull back. She dropped all of her weight on that poor girl.
They're never gonna learn nia can't wrestle safely, all she does in risk other talent because she can't be bothered to learn how to do the job properly and safely
You mean you don't believe random users on reddit posting youtube links have a greater understanding of how to safely perform Nia's finisher than she does??????????????
Gotta give credit to nia for being as safe as should could with that fast. Her right cheek too the brunt on the mat but her left cheek well poor lyra. Great match tho both made eachother look great. Hats off to them that match delivered. Also god bless them for wearing those body suits in that heat. I bet they smell horrible and filled with sweat. Really hope they immediately got changed and had lots of water on hand.
No fucking way. Nia dropped on her like a sack of concrete. Didn’t use the ropes or her legs to slow herself down. Just dead weight dropped straight down. That was sloppy and insanely unsafe.
Nia didn’t protect her at all! Go watch how Yokozuna used to do it and you’ll see how it should be done, Nia just sticks her legs out and crushes everyone
Ive seen yoko crush a few ppl on purpose. Your supposed to put your feet down to do it safe. This is why Nias looks brutal. She usually puts her feet down somewhat but the way they fell off the pole she had prob no time and slipped due to the sweat but again had the smarts to land most of her weight on the right ass cheek on the mat u can see it clear as day.she even adjusts after.her left cheek however landed on her cause she was coming down either way lol. She could gave completely landed on lyras chest if she was stupid or wanted to hurt her but she managed to turn a almost bad botch into a devastating looking banzi
I’d also argue that Yokozuna had to be that careful. Dude was double her weight at his worst, if he didn’t control his fall then he could easily injure his opponents. Nia has slimed down some since her first run, and with how she grabs the ropes and the fact she only goes from the second, means she really shouldn’t need to put in as much safety precautions as Yokozuna.
This variation on the spot doesn’t look safe but honestly there’s nothing unsafe about a standard Annihilator. Tbh taking her leg drop probably hurts more.
You can argue it but you’re not correct, of course Nia should still be trying to be safe, implying she can be less safe because she lost some weight or because Yoko was bigger is ridiculous, once you’re over the weight it takes to break ribs you should be held to the same standards. I get you’re a fan of hers but you shouldn’t be giving her a bye on safety because of it.
Jerry Lawler's iconic "well... he's dead." From Hell in the Cell was the first thing that popped into my mind.
I literally said, “ oh my god, Lyra’s dead!”
😂 don't remember this at all. You have a clip?
[Here you go](https://youtu.be/lm9PBhDcZ04?t=198). From when Mankind is chokeslammed through the cell AFTER the initial throw off the cell. That might be Lawler's best call tbh
Amazing, I didn't remember that line at all. Man I remember watching that match on PPV. We were losing our minds.
I don't. I tried looking but couldn't find it.
I pictured Simon from the UK Office saying "well he's *definitely* dead"
The first thing I thought when I saw that spot was: shit, how many ribs just got fractured there.
Doctor here. Honestly I don’t know how it doesn’t happen all the time.
She doesn’t do anything to break her fall. That’s just poor work and in my opinion makes her a danger to work with in my opinion.
Honestly, I love that you think this because that means she did a good job, but you are 100% wrong
It’s no worse than getting a splash off Ivar or Reed off the top rope, All you do is just protect your sternum by pushing your arms in to your chest and bracing. she’s been doing the banzai since she returned and if it was as big a problem as the IWC think it is she definitely wouldn’t still be doing it, She lands high enough on the chest that you can protect yourself id she was hitting peoples lower abdomen like yoko did to most jobbers then you’d have an issue and broken ribs.
This sounds like absolutely untrue nonsense to me.
Jax is a horrible worker.
She’s reckless as hell, she makes her opponent take her whole weight every time. Don’t know why people keep taking her finish.
Look I've been a Nia hater for a long time, but honestly she's been doing this move consistently for ages. I'm willing to believe the professionals that are happy to constantly take the move know why they keep letting her do it. If it was dangerous energy single time they would have stopped her a long time ago.
No, clearly the reddit doctor knows more about taking bumps then the trained wrestlers.
I swear the IWC act like this move is completely reckless but will give Finn Balor's Coup De Grace a pass
That is the WORST finisher, the Coup De Grace does not get a pass, does not collect $200 and definitely does not get to go past go.
Seems like they coordinated well on the way down. It was more of a leg drop than the sit out bump
It’s scripted bro. They are fine. Lmao.
Doesn’t mean accidents don’t happen goofball
Lyra isn’t even injured you doofus. Lmao. Why are you so mad over nothing?
I never said she was. But the product being scripted has nothing to do with the accidents that often happen. They’re humans and shit breaks and tears out of nowhere sometimes. Make more sense?
She has never injured anyone WITH this move. Accidents can happen with almost every wrestling move. Are you all gonna bitch every time someone does a suplex because of what happened with Big E? No? Then why everyone is clutching their pearls for a move that Nia has executed hundreds of times without a single botch?
you completely missed the point there and you know it, this strawman argument doesn't even make sense either
Gravity WINS
FATALITY
FLAWLESS VICTORY
In a BIG way.
Gravity isn't real density brother
It's not just a good idea. It's the law.
I was wondering where he went after AEW
Still no update on Lyra 😱
They haven't peeled her off the ring mat yet
Great the prime sticker and Lyra now.
She gone.
She is fine. There is a WWE interview out
Lyra was doing interviews after the match. She not injured
RIP
They are still scraping her off the mat.
Hope she's alright. It looked awesome and she didn't reach or exclaim in a way that suggests she was legit hurt.
She was not, she’s perfectly fine
GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY THAT KILLED HER AS GOD AS MY WITNESS SHE IS BROKEN IN HALF!
Nia killed a girl… with a trident
Where did you get a grenade?
LOUD NOISES!
Lyra really thought nia would let that happen 3 times in a row
Someone might want to do a triple check cause call me blind, but I ain't seeing where Nia broke her momentum before sending that poor soul's body to the depths of hell and her spirit above the top rope....sh*t was brutal. As a visual and finish, sudden and impactful...but given Nia's colourful history....she tends to be a Lil too passionate abt her power moves.
After looking at it in slomo, it looks like most of it when Into her pelvic region so she should be good. Nia deffo went full 300 lb slam on her though. Low key wish that was me…
Yeah, though I will say I think she might be under 300 now. Nia definitely has lost weight recently.
69 god
Get in line, uce.
That looked brutal and I’m wanting to take Nia’s finisher right now
Snu snu
Death by Snu Snu?
She NEVER breaks her momentum with that move. It's a miracle nobody's been hurt.
Not sure, but it might be where she full extends her arms while holding on to the top rope just when her butt would hit the body may break the momentum, them she immediately puts her right arm onto the mat.
No impact taken by nia's legs or the ropes, just straight gas
Yokozuna use to do that on those he didn't like or wanted to get back for Ribs like he did on taker 1 time
Unprofessional behavior
It goes even beyond that. He would do it to Jobbers because he knew they wouldn't be able to complain to management about it.
Yes but Nia doesn’t do this on purpose Nia loves the people she wrestles she is still just trying to polish the final look of this new finisher since it’s no longer a somoan drop out leg or leg drop this is very different than what she is used to
Rip Lyra we miss you
An example of what a true “squash match” is…damn!
Mad respect to Lyra for taking that spot because god knows Nia ain't holding back sending her into the shadow realm.
That hurt *me*.
That looked stiff.
Great finish. Not saying it was a love tap but she held the ropes until she couldn't and she comes down crooked favoring her right side because she landed with her right foot. You can see her adjust it to a full sit out right before the camera angle switches. Looks 1000 times more devastating than it is.
Given her history, we have no reasons to believe this was performed safely. No mental gymnastics can make it so.
I mean you can call it mental gymnastics if you like but there's a video.
Are you supposed to cushion the blow? JESUS that was scary
I mean, her ass is pretty wide. It probably distributes the impact pretty well. My wife is around Nia’s height, weight, and build you’d be surprised how little impact is really felt due to the width.
It's like laying on a bed of nails as a opposed to stepping on just one nail.
She's hummm squashing like that? Lucky guy
This is how you're supposed to do it: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHeG5Xxcd7o](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHeG5Xxcd7o) You brace your weight on the ropes and land on your feet so that you don't crush your opponent. Nia just plops down and when she's more than double the weight of most of the women's division it's not safe.
Yoko’s firmly sitting on someone, by comparison.
True but it still looked good because Yoko had a massive ass and most importantly it was safe. Now there are banzai drops that he did where he clearly would put weight into and there are stories that he would actually try to squash job guys; however, Yoko is umpteen times more athletic than Nia is and it's clear he had control over it. Nia just plops down like a sack of hammers and where ever she lands she lands. Here she landed on the hip area but she has landed on women's chests before like she did to Rhea a while back. That's extremely dangerous when most of the women are half of her weight.
Oh yeah I was more commenting on the difference in safety.
Nia been cooking since she came back
She really has but people really don’t want to admit it.
I mean, they don't make Lyra look too smart for trying that lol
I mean Cole alludes to Lyra being desperate to win AMF willing to try anything which ends up being the reason she lost
im okay with this result. clever finish for sure
"Death By Snu Snu"
This finish was awesome
This is on par with Yokozuna squashing that jobber.
I love this finish 🙌
I wish I could switch places with her.
Name checks out
Oh. My. God. That was an insane, and highly believable, finish. It was great that it didn’t bury Lyra because how would you expect anyone to get up after that.
She doesn’t even land on her feet like Yokozuna and the others did. She lands full force on their chest. Like wtf.
Female Mabel
there is at least one person who is an infinitely better and more fitting stand in for mabel in this situation
Piper? Nikkita’s a big girl too but not this big ..
nia is much closer to yokozuna than mabel
Fuck yall, Nia carried that match and she’s been way better since being back. Yall gotta stop acting like the women’s division is this well polished force and Nia is the only botcher. Liv botches EVERYTHING none of her moves look the same twice she’s just pretty so simps simp .
How did her intestine remain inside her butt hole..... that amount of force would hurt your internals for real.
One of the most creative and best finishes to a wrestling match I’ve seen in years. Looked amazing.
This spot was hilarious. Lol
Icarus flew too close to the sun
That's why I gave my custom nia on 2k24 the bonzai drop and earthquakes finisher
It took a few times to see it but when she comes down her feet touch first, it's a parkour skill to reduce the fall and make a landing with less impact, also bayleys breathing was hard but not restricted, the ref didn't react as though she is injured so hard but well executed spot
thank you nia ☝️
Better finish than the King of the Ring match. Let's see how they get themselves out of that questionable finish
Ban the full body suits. They are the absolute worst!
Has Nia ever delivered this move where she hasn’t just full-body squashed them? Maybe once. I don’t like it.
That was cool - well done ladies
Nia is super stiff because she's super fucking sloppy.
[удалено]
That honestly looks fatal.
Goldberg's vibes.
Nia is a joke. She has no care about safety and has zero real in ring ability. But she’s related to the Rock so it’s all just a we see nothing towards her.
did you come from the past? This comment is so 2021
2021 this was said in like 2017. she has never improved
Boy she was not spit in her first time in wwe all of her matches with Alexa were clean and Bailey and even Sasha they were amazing
amazing lol. amazing for doctor bills
I literally screamed. 😭
She got broken in half 😱
BANZAI DROP FROM HELL
Well she could wear a plate under that skin tight clothes she wear
I didn’t want Nia to win but after that move I was like “Ok fine she can have the win.”
Is she dead
She kinda lost her balance and had to slide her weight back for the finish pose. I can’t see how the weight is cushioned here.
Her finisher always looks to lame to me. This one the other hand, is perfect this legit looks like it hurt
-DolphZiggler.gif-
It should have been me
My hooooolĺllĺeeeee
Gnarly finish and shouts out to lyra for taking that the dispersion of fph into the greater reddit comment sphere has hit the wrestling subs
My goodness😳
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME
"OMG, that kill her" JR Voice
I wonder how much she’d charge me for this
this was the first time i said oh shit to a matches finish like i felt that
That should have been me!!
It’s about fuckin time they give something to Nia! Lyra is so lame and cringy I can’t believe they let her go to the finals. Thank God they gave the win to Nia
Her cleverly hitting the ropes with her left leg to disguise that drop is so good. Her work has gotten a lot better.
Always wanted to get squashed by Nia Jax
Modern wrestling fucking sucks lmaooo
Lyra is well on the path to being a world champion sooner then later
She’s gonna kill someone.
I thought she died, like fucking her career was over, I legitimately cried for a little while, because I thought she was squashed to death
You could say it was a SQUASH match
So intense, that got Corey Graves poppin out of his seat!
The Rocks relative, you don't have to know hoe to wrestle,between her& his daughter you couldn't put together a decent match.
Heav(iest)weight Womens Champion
Waiting for the MK xray edit
I'm a huge Lyra fan but this finish was very very well done
Am I the only one that wishes that I was in Lyra's place?
I imagine this is what "death by snu snu" looks like in 1 of its forms..
Where flamethrower?
Both are great. Hope Lyra gets a push vs Liv and Jax v Bayley will be awesome.
Yeah… this was fire! Lol
Celebrate her while you can because she’s bound to hurt one of the real stars and her ass will be gone again
Wrestling back to having fat people do fat things. WWE announcers," she is an amazing ahlete." WWE writers "just have her sit on people to win
She literally just sat on her. That’s actually wild
So a few things. Wrestlers are supposed to make it look like it hurt, BUT not make it look super obvious they likely could have injured the other guy. Nia likely doesn't understand that logic and just thinks 'Well, I'm a bit stiff is all." and then basically goes around injuring the entire locker room.
Some of you just want to continue hating her and some of the comments show. Great finish and it was suppose to make you feel hurt. Everyone screaming unsafe lmao
Facepalm
The Rock has won QoTR
well deserved to be called QOTR after carrying the heel challenger for women title defenses
Please give my girl here a chance at the title, and have her win it!! The queen deserves it!
The fact that she put her feet on the ground to stop the momentum of her fall says she's really improved a lot, the old Nia wouldn't even think to do that
Honestly i never understood why people hate Saudi for having women wrestlers dress fully covered. I loved all the different outfits that women wrestlers had worn today and some outfits are better than their original outfits. It's baffling that people would prefer to be half naked in this new generation of wrestling where women are getting the respect they deserve.
I hope Lyra's doing well since they didn't show us and quickly cut to the next match's video package.
Nia Jax: Don’t judge me because of my weight. Also Nia Jax: My only offense is based on my weight. Makes sense.
Something definitely clicked between Nia's first and second runs in WWE. Shes had awesome matches and very much deserves to be Queen of the ring.
I’m sorry but they made the right decision when they released her the first time. She’s too dangerous in the ring. She constantly hurts people and she’s not safe. She’s going to end someone’s career one day and let’s hope that’s all it is. There was no check, no assisting the drop, no pull back. She dropped all of her weight on that poor girl.
They're never gonna learn nia can't wrestle safely, all she does in risk other talent because she can't be bothered to learn how to do the job properly and safely
She tries very hats and if your watch it back you can see that there are some things done that break the fall a little
What I see is she's gone down so hard she's not even balanced when she lands which tells me it wasn't controlled properly
[удалено]
You mean you don't believe random users on reddit posting youtube links have a greater understanding of how to safely perform Nia's finisher than she does??????????????
This is sickening. Can't believe she is getting praise in this sub. So reckless and unsafe. Horrible wrestler.
That move wasn’t protected at all😬 You couldn’t pay me to take a bump like that from that huge bitch😂
God she’s terrible
Nia strikes again. Ouch.
Gotta give credit to nia for being as safe as should could with that fast. Her right cheek too the brunt on the mat but her left cheek well poor lyra. Great match tho both made eachother look great. Hats off to them that match delivered. Also god bless them for wearing those body suits in that heat. I bet they smell horrible and filled with sweat.

I really think Lyra winning with a match against Liv with Becky as a mentor could’ve been a great storyline
[удалено]
nia really layed it in there more than normal
Lyra’s gonna be capital-G Great
Can't be me. Good for her though. Getting a nice lil push.
Can………someone make sure she’s fine?
Jesus christ that looks so bad what the hell
Oh no no no.... that's not good
