VIDEO: Bobby Lashley falls out of ring after rope breaks at WWE house show

Posted on by Ethan Renner

Bobby Lashley took a fall out of the ring at Thursday’s WWE house show in Newcastle after the top rope broke during his match. 

Lashley was facing Drew McIntyre in the main event of the live event when he hit the ropes. McIntyre hit the ropes on the opposite side of the ring almost simultaneously, and the top rope snapped. Lashley went tumbling to the floor where he was immediately checked on by Sami Zayn and ringside personnel. 

Lashley was apparently okay after taking the fall, as he finished the match. McIntyre won the bout. 

WWE’s European tour kicked off Thursday in Newcastle, and continues Friday with a show in London. The tour hits Paris, France on Saturday, then wraps up in Leipzig, Germany on Sunday. Raw on Monday will be held in Greensboro, North Carolina.

A fan in Newcastle shot video of the accident, which can be seen below.
