#8 Sin Cara fumbles in the air
After weeks of waiting for former friends Andrade "Cien" Almas and Sin Cara to meet in the ring, Sin Cara collided with Almas at the Extreme Rules PPV--a matchup in which Almas emerged victorious. This match was meant to be an appetizer for the WWE Universe, as it was scheduled to be on the Kick-Off show.
While wrestling Almas, Sin Cara got a little too ambitious and botched an aerial maneuver right in the middle of their match. There was a sequence where Sin Cara was meant to deliver a Hurricanrana on Almas, however, it didn't go as well as expected.
Almas was standing on the apron as Sin Cara scaled the turnbuckles, when in the heat of the moment, he completely miscalculated the Hurricanrana--falling short. It could've turned out to be a dangerous move for both men, if not for the quick-thinking of Almas as he revamped the Hurricanrana into an arm-drag which likely covered up the fact that the move was actually a botch.
The match was in fact a fantastic one. It did better than expected and the botch didn't get in the way of both of the two Luchadores delivering an exciting match.
