#10: Shinsuke Nakamura's brutal knee

United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura faced off with Jeff Hary in SmackDown Live's opening match. While a normal knee strike from Shinsuke Nakamura would hurt, this one was even more vicious.

Shinsuke Nakamura kneed Jeff Hardy from the apron and he kneed him so hard that Jeff Hardy went headfirst into the ring post. You could hear Jeff Hardy collide with the ring post.

Thankfully, Jeff Hardy did not seem to be hurt too much from that spot. The match ended with Jeff Hardy defeating Shinsuke Nakamura by disqualification after Randy Orton attacked him.

#9: Gran Metalik's Top Rope Sunset Flip Powerbomb

Gran Metalik faced Buddy Murphy in 205 Live's opening match. Gran Metalik normally uses high-flying moves to stun his opponents but he also has a decent amount of power.

Buddy Murphy had Gran Metalik on the top rope and was presumably going for a superplex. Gran Metalik then countered it into a beautiful sunset flip powerbomb.

Gran Metalik was not able to go for the cover right away and he might've got the win right there and then if he could've got the cover. This insane spot occurred after an insane spot earlier in the match.

#8: Charlotte Flair's Power

Sonya Deville had her biggest opportunity on SmackDown Live when she faced off with SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair. Towards the end of the match, Sonya Deville locked in a Triangle Choke.

Charlotte Flair was then able to break out of it and hit a beautiful Deadlift Sit-Out Powerbomb (using one arm) for a near fall. Charlotte Flair would then lock in the Figure Eight for the victory.

#7: Mercedes Martinez's inverted piledriver

Mercedes Martinez faced Ashley Rayne in the main event of the second episode of the Mae Young Classic. Towards the beginning of the match, Ashley Rayne went for a Wheelbarrow Bulldog.

Mercedes Martinez then countered it into a wheelbarrow inverted piledriver to take control of the match. Ashley Rayne landed right on the back of her head but thankfully seemed okay. Mercedes Martinez would defeat Ashley Rayne and advance to the second round.

#6: Kevin Owens's Apron Powerbomb

Kevin Owens was supposed to face off with Tyler Breeze on Monday Night Raw. However, Kevin Owens attacked Tyler Breeze before the match could even start.

While Tyler Breeze was able to fight Kevin Owens off for a brief period of time. Kevin Owens then hit Tyler Breeze with a vicious Apron Powerbomb. This spot was as brutal as usual and Tyler Breeze sold it really well.

#5: Bianca Belair's Backpack Slam

Towards the end of Nikki Cross vs Bianca Belair, Nikki Cross locked in a sleeper hold outside of the ring. Bianca Belair then hit Nikki Cross with a backpack slam on the metal ramp.

Bianca Belair took some impact but Nikki Cross took all of the impact. Both her head and her back crashed hard on the metal ramp. As a result of that brutal bump, the match ended in a double count-out.

#4: Gran Metalik's Moonsault Plancha

Gran Metalik stole the show against Buddy Murphy on 205 Live. Towards the beginning of the match, Gran Metalik hit Buddy Murphy with a Diving Moonsault Plancha to the outside of the ring. He even landed on his feet. This was an excellent match that ended with Buddy Murphy defeating Gran Metalik via pinfall.

#3: Nikki Cross's Diving Crossbody

Nikki Cross faced Bianca Belair in the main event of NXT. The match ended in a double count-out. The two women continued to brawl after the bell had rung.

At the end of the brawl, Nikki Cross went on top of the announce table and ran off of it. She hit a Diving Crossbody off of the table and collided with Bianca Belair and several referees.

#2: Zeuxis's Avalanche Spanish Fly

Zeuxis faced Aerial Monroe in the second episode of the 2nd Mae Young Classic. Aerial Monroe was in control throughout the entire match. She then went on the top rope and Zeuxis hit her with a beautiful Avalanche Spanish Fly out of nowhere.

Zeuxis was able to get the win with that Avalanche Spanish Fly and will face Io Shirai or Xia Brookside in the round of 16.

#1: Roman Reigns's Samoan Drop off of the announce table

Roman Reigns & Braun Strowman had a confrontation on the last segment of Monday Night Raw. Braun Strowman was attempting to put Roman Reigns through the announce table.

Roman Reigns then stopped Braun Strowman and hit a Samoan Drop from the announce table through a table on the floor. This was a tease of some of the violent spots that we will see at Hell in a Cell.
