These ten WrestleMania moments stand out for their height, violent trajectories, fire or sharp props, and—where WWE reported them—the consequences. “Most dangerous” is an editorial judgment, not a medical ranking: WWE’s archives document what happened on screen and what the company reported, but do not provide an objective risk scale. The list is a selection of notable, source-backed moments, not a claim that these are definitively the ten most dangerous in the event’s history.
1. Edge spears Jeff Hardy from high above the ring — WrestleMania X-Seven (2001)
During the TLC match, Jeff Hardy was suspended high above the ring when Edge launched a spear into him. WWE’s retrospective describes the collision sending Hardy down to the canvas. The height and the forceful, airborne impact make it one of WrestleMania’s most arresting stunts. The account does not establish a specific injury from this moment. WWE’s retrospective
2. Jeff Hardy falls more than 20 feet — WrestleMania 23 (2007)
In the Money in the Bank ladder match, Jeff Hardy fell more than 20 feet onto Edge, according to WWE. The impact broke the ladder beneath Edge in half. The reported height and the damaged ladder convey the scale of the fall; WWE’s account does not identify an injury, so none should be inferred from the footage. WWE’s account
3. Shawn Michaels misses a moonsault onto the announce table — WrestleMania 24 (2008)
In his match against Ric Flair, Michaels attempted a moonsault and landed stomach-first on the edge of the announce table. WWE’s retrospective reports that Michaels broke multiple ribs and continued the match. WWE’s match page identifies this as Flair’s last match. WWE’s retrospective · WWE’s match page

4. Edge spears Mick Foley through a flaming table — WrestleMania 22 (2006)
Edge drove Foley through a flaming table with a spear through the ropes. WWE’s account also describes barbed wire and thumbtacks in the match. Fire, sharp props, and a high-speed collision made this sequence unusually hazardous in appearance; the report does not provide a medical assessment of the stunt. WWE’s match report
5. Brock Lesnar misses the Shooting Star Press — WrestleMania XIX (2003)
Lesnar attempted a Shooting Star Press against Kurt Angle and missed. WWE’s retrospective calls the attempt gruesome, while its event report confirms that Lesnar went on to win the match. The moment is notable for the failed aerial move and its immediate context, not for an injury diagnosis that the cited account does not supply. WWE’s retrospective and event report
6. Shane McMahon leaps from Hell in a Cell — WrestleMania 32 (2016)
Shane McMahon jumped from the top of the Hell in a Cell toward Undertaker, who moved; McMahon crashed through a table onto the stadium floor. WWE reports that he was carried away on a stretcher afterward. That reported aftermath is clearer than any broader claim about the severity or nature of an injury. WWE’s account
7. Undertaker’s dive nearly costs him the match — WrestleMania 25 (2009)
Undertaker dove toward Shawn Michaels outside the ring. Michaels moved aside and pulled a cameraman into Undertaker’s path, according to WWE. Undertaker barely made it back into the ring before the count of ten. The collision and near count-out are documented; the account does not report an injury from the dive. WWE’s account

8. Undertaker collapses after the No Holds Barred match — WrestleMania 27 (2011)
Undertaker and Triple H’s match involved tables and steel chairs. WWE’s report describes Undertaker collapsing from exhaustion after the bout and being carted away from ringside. This entry is about the cumulative toll of a match sequence rather than a single isolated stunt; the report does not establish a medical diagnosis. WWE’s match report
9. The barbed-wire and thumbtack hazards in Edge–Foley — WrestleMania 22 (2006)
Separate from the flaming-table spear, the barbed wire and thumbtacks in Edge and Foley’s match are notable hazards in their own right. WWE’s report documents their presence, but does not isolate a particular wire-or-tack stunt as a distinct moment or provide a separate injury account. This is therefore a match-wide hazard entry, and it overlaps with the previous WrestleMania 22 listing rather than representing a separate match. WWE’s match report

10. CM Punk’s Money in the Bank ladder match — WrestleMania 24 (2008)
CM Punk competed in the WrestleMania 24 Money in the Bank ladder match. WWE’s archive confirms the match and event, but the available account does not document a specific unusual injury or individual stunt that supports a stronger danger claim. This is the least substantiated entry here: its inclusion identifies the match, not a verified injury outcome or a uniquely dangerous spot. WWE’s event archive
How to read the list
The entries are not an objective comparison of medical risk. Height and trajectory, collision surfaces, fire and sharp props, reported consequences, and the detail of WWE’s documentation all shape why a moment is included. A dramatic image alone cannot establish an injury, while a lack of a reported injury is not proof that no one was hurt. WWE’s retrospective and event accounts are primary records of the company’s own reporting, not independent medical evaluations.
