During Worlds End, Jon Moxley hit Kyle Fletcher with an Avalanche Cutthroat Suplex, which stunned fans watching on pay-per-view. However, due to its brutality, it soon went viral on social media, and it now appears that news of the spot reached WWE’s William Regal, who has taken to X to urge younger stars to prioritize long-term health over risky spots. In this tweet, he would cite his own two broken necks and chronic pain, along with an X-ray from one of these, plus note the death of Mitsuharu Misawa, and the ongoing suffering of his protégé, Bryan Danielson.
For those unaware, Japanese wrestling legend Mitsuharu Misawa died in 2009 during a NOAH tag team match. Teaming with Go Shiozaki against Akitoshi Saito and Bison Smith, Misawa collapsed after a belly-to-back suplex from Saito. While he received immediate medical assistance, he was pronounced dead at the hospital due to the separation of his first and second cervical vertebrae, known as atlanto-axial dislocation. This was believed to have been exacerbated by decades of accumulated neck trauma from high-impact moves, and it was hoped that wrestlers would accept that landing on their heads and necks could have dire consequences.
