Rey Mysterio Was Attacked On WWE RAW
On the December 15 edition of Monday Night RAW, Rey Mysterio faced Logan Paul in a singles match.
The bout came to be after Mysterio slapped The Maverick backstage a couple of weeks ago.
During the match, a masked assailant attacked Mysterio with a stomp to the apron. This allowed Paul to hit his frog splash for the pinfall victory.
After the match, the mystery attacker unveiled himself, and it turned out to be Austin Theory.
Ex-WWE star Stevie Richards spoke about the Curb Stomp spot on his YouTube podcast.
He stated that the WWE Hall of Famer could’ve been seriously injured because of the spot.
Richards also pointed out that the Curb Stomp was banned from the WWE for a while because of how lethal the move is.
