WATCH: Irish wrestler Finn Balor was the victim of one of the nastiest WWE moves in years on Sunday night

Finn Balor

Ouch.

Finn Balor has proved many times over that he’s a really nice guy.

In the past, we’ve seen him do great stuff for charities in Ireland, and more recently, walking down the ramp at a WWE event with a rainbow detail on his trunks while being surrounded by members of a New Orleans LGBT+ group.

And he’s a handsome fella too, let’s be honest. Just look at that smile.

But after Sunday night’s Money in the Bank PPV event, Balor’s smile was certainly wiped off his face.

During a ladder match, the Bray native was quite literally bounced off a ladder by fellow WWE wrestler Andrade Cien. Take a look:

Let’s look at that one more time in GIF form.

Look at how his back bounces up off the ladder. That is RIDICULOUS.

And to make this even more impressive, he carried on with the match after this as well, but unfortunately it was the former UFC Champion Brock Lesnar that got the win.

We salute you Finn. We reckon he was definitely struggling to get out of bed this morning.

He has since tweeted a compilation of all of the worst hits he took during the match, and it really does not make for pleasant viewing:
