Shane McMahon left onlookers stunned at WrestleMania 32 after he leapt off the top of a steel cell before falling over 20 feet and plummeting through an announcers’ table in his match against The Undertaker.

Having returned to confront his father, Vince McMahon, four weeks ago, Shane O’Mac was told he would be given control of Raw should he defeat The Undertaker at WrestleMania in a Hell In a Cell match that would also see The Deadman’s WrestleMania future put on the line.

It proved to be a brutal affair as Undertaker dominated McMahon, and after the latter had cut open one side of the cell, Undertaker charged the pair of them through it with the match spilling on the outside.

McMahon seized the advantage after the pair had jumped through a table, but when he seemingly had Undertaker on the verge of defeat, he did the unthinkable.

With Undertaker lying prone on the announcers’ table, Mcmahon scaled the cell to stand over 20-feet above The Phenom, before leaping off and plummeting towards the ground. Undertaker rolled out of the way though, and McMahon crashed though the table in frightening scenes that left him motionless on the ground.

Mercifully, Undertaker finished the match with a single Tombstone Piledriver in the ring, and after receiving medical attention, McMahon was carted out of the ring and gave the WWE Universe a thumbs up from his stretcher.
