Batista Bomb is one of the most devastating finishers in all of WWE. The move was popularized by former WWE Superstar Batista. The WWE veteran never imagined in his wildest dreams that the move would someday end up being used on a toddler, leading to her death.

The incident took place in Jefferson County in 2017. 24-year-old Richard Gamache Jr. was charged with abuse/neglect after he performed a bunch of wrestling moves (including a Batista Bomb) on a 2-year-old named Addie Cook. The toddler suffered a seizure and was immediately rushed to hospital on May 16. She passed away at the hospital a few days later.

Gamache denied abusing the little girl and added that her head injury was possibly a result of being subjected to a wrestling move. WWE immediately commented on the death of the child and demanded justice for her.

“We are deeply saddened by this tragic death and hope that the guilty parties are brought to justice. There is no excuse or justification for the brutal and ultimately fatal beating of a 2-year-old child by a grown man. This is a clear case of criminal intent and a lack of parental supervision,” wrote WWE.

As per the police, Addie's mom didn't intervene to put an end to the abuse as she was afraid of losing custody. She was also concerned about putting her relationship with Gamache at risk.
