WWE universe witnessed one of the most gruesome matches between Seth Rollins and Rey Mysterio at Extreme Rules. The stipulation was “eye for an eye” and the only way to win was pulling out your opponent’s eyeball from the socket.

The entire fan-base along with others in WWE were rather curious about how the company will manage to pull off the visual effects. However, the company said that one of them needs to actually pull the eye from the socket to win.

The match came to its end with Seth Rollins managing to bring Rey Mysterio’s eyeball out of the socket. Throughout the match, both of them used everything possible to pull out the other’s eye.

Even after doing this, The Monday Night Messiah went ahead to attack him. It’s at this point when he realized that Mysterio was holding his eye. This had an impact on Rollins and he ended up vomiting.
