#1 Overshot the ladder

The Tag Team Championship Ladder Match between #DIY and the Authors of Pain was absolutely incredible. They beat the life out of each other, gave us a definitive finish, and even broke everyone’s heart with the Tommaso Ciampa heel turn after the match. There were many times that genuine concern was felt for the competitors’ well-being as they put their bodies on the line, including this moment when Johnny Gargano dove off of the ladder.

Akam was expecting to absorb the impact of Gargano’s belly, collapsing the ladder beneath them. However, Johnny overshot this a little and mostly connected with only his knees. The camera didn’t show his head as he rolled off of the AOP member but he could’ve landed cranium-first onto the ground.

Gargano was okay after this move – more than well enough to get smashed directly into the face by a ladder later on.
