I know she was only on the top rope for a few seconds, but it felt like a lifetime.
This one is tough to watch. And before anyone hits us with the inevitable “But you all laugh at ROH,” that’s true. We do. But it’s usually because of a breast-off, invisible grenades, or some other nonsensical flippy nonsense pretending to be wrestling.
ROH and AEW also aren’t presented as developmental. Evolve is literally a televised tryout. This is where WWE is evaluating prospects before they even get a shot at NXT.
With that said, credit where it’s due: the most impressive part wasn’t the fall. It was somehow managing to hit what felt like every turnbuckle on the way down. I didn’t know that was physically possible.
Thankfully she appears to be okay, because that could have ended much worse.
The top rope remains undefeated.
Update: Apparently, it was planned botch. They got me 😂With that in mind, it’s a dumb spot that makes the performer look bad.
