Killian Dain Reveals Bump That Got Cut From NXT TakeOver: WarGames Match

– While speaking to the All Night Long podcast, former WWE Superstar Killian Dain discussed the NXT revival of WarGames in 2017. NXT TakeOver: WarGames that year featured SAnitY. According to Dain, he was originally going to have a spot where he jumped off the cage. However, Dain eventually realized he couldn’t make the climb with his kilt and boots on. Below is an excerpt (via Fightful):

“At one point with WarGames, I was going to jump off the cage. I practiced it a couple of times and was like, ‘That was easy.’ Then I tried it in wrestling boots and I couldn’t quite get to the top. I had to go to Shawn Michaels and was like, ‘I actually can’t jump off this.’ ‘We just saw you climb it.’ ‘Yeah, I was in my sneakers. In my wrestling boots and kilt (I can’t do it).’ I don’t really doubt myself with anything and when that doubt came in and wasn’t going away, I was just like, ‘Yeah, not doing it.’ Thankfully everyone and Shawn Michaels, who is incredible was like, ‘That’s the first time we’ve heard you doubt yourself. You tell me no, we’ll plan something else.’ Looking back, I think it would have been overkill and took away from the suplex off the top. It was a great decision not to do it. That’s what I keep telling myself.”

Ultimately, The Undisputed Era defeated the team of Authors of Pain, Roderick Strong and SAnitY for the WarGames match. it was held at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas November 2017.
