These Superstars saved their opponents from serious injuries inside the ring

#6 Baron Corbin saves Dolph Ziggler (WWE Money in the Bank 2017)

Baron Corbin once saved Dolph Ziggler from a serious head injury

Baron Corbin is one of the few WWE Superstars who can manage to get under anyone’s skin. Corbin excels at fetching organic heat from fans and works very hard to keep his heel persona intact even when he appears in WWE events. Very few people know that Corbin is one of the most respected superstars backstage in the promotion.

He is widely regarded as one of the safest workers in WWE today and is often trusted to protect his opponents inside the ring. He once did the same for Dolph Ziggler when competing in a Money in the Bank match. Ziggler tried to run on the steel steps to gain elevation for his jump. Unfortunately, Ziggler tripped on the stairs and was about to land on his head.

Corbin saw this and immediately ran to Ziggler’s rescue. He caught the latter mid-air and stopped him from falling dangerously. Corbin then flung Ziggler in the air and smoothly transitioned into a Deep Six to put his opponent gently on the floor. This is one of the most impressive things that Corbin has ever done in WWE, and the subtlety of the entire event left the viewers in awe of the King.
