WWE is known for coming up with comical gimmicks over the years like Santino Marella’s Cobra Sock Puppet. But what happened last night at NXT No Mercy literally had the audience in splits. The match between Becky Lynch and Tiffany Stratton was supposed to be an Extreme Rules match. But one of the in ring props was childishly extreme.

Fans were expecting barb-wires and nails, but they got something very nostalgic.

But that’s exactly what was used to inflict pain on the opponent and fans found it rather comical.
