WWE has always been under the radar for not being real. Many times people have raised this question, debating the realism of WWE, and whether it is scripted. Although the endings of the matches are always scripted, it is the moves that are not. However, UFC’s Jorge Masvidal shared his opinion on WWE.

Several times, superstars have faced injuries and even been forced to retire because of certain moves being deemed dangerous. Compared to other combat sports such as MMA and boxing, WWE is scripted because of the pre-decided ending, and certain moves being performed under supervised conditions.

UFC or MMA may have disliked scripted endings. On the other hand, WWE fans over the years have tried justifying the legitimacy of professional wrestling. Regardless, there have been athletes who have switched over between the two sports.

However, UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal took it into his own hands to make the fans know the legitimacy of WWE. He took to Facebook and uploaded a reel, where a 300lbs man is seen performing a senton splash on his opponent. Masvidal uploaded the video on Facebook with the caption, ‘WWE Ain’t real?’

The landing seemed stiff and rough, which might have even led to an injury. WWE is a place where extremely dangerous moves are performed under severe scrutiny and supervision so that no unforeseen injury occurs.
