Legendary stuntman and comedian Johnny Knoxville took the stage at Wrestlemania against Sami Zayn with a little help from his friends. After Jackass fan-favorite “Party Boy” jumped into the ring to distract Zayn during the fight, another long-time co-star of Knoxville’s stole the show with his appearance. Jason Acuna, nicknamed Wee Man, rushed Zayn during the match and proceeded to deliver a body slam, turning the match into a wild showcase of Knoxville and the Jackass crew’s stunts.

As the Jackass crew celebrated the release of their newest movie, part of the resulting media tour found Knoxville becoming a member of the WWE. Through a series of events within their programming, Knoxville became rivals with Sami Zayn and became an antagonist to him. After costing Zayn a title match by interfering, Zayn challenged Knoxville to their Wrestlemania match in an “anything goes” style of fight.

The stage and rules of the fight set up a fantastic show for fans of Knoxville and Jackass, as multiple moments were set up by famous members of their crew. The highlight of the match was when four-foot-tall Wee Man delivered a body slam to Zayn, as well as taking a kick to the face afterwards.

Other highlights included Knoxville throwing Zayn through a table decorated with mouse traps, as well as the match’s finisher — a giant mouse trap that Knoxville used to trap Zayn for the match-winning pin. Knoxville also used air horns, a taser and some pyrotechnics to keep Zayn off balance.
