Peter Rosenberg has revealed the advice he gives to WWE Evolve and main roster stars after footage of a dive to the outside was shared.
A podcast host and broadcaster in his own right, Peter Rosenberg has been a commentator on WWE Evolve since early 2025.
With footage of IYO SKY diving through the ropes on WWE Raw doing the rounds on Twitter, Rosenberg has revealed his “don’t do it” approach to this sort of move, reposting the video and a message that reads:
“This is why I tell whoever I can at Evolve and even on the main roster — don’t bother with these dives. They are all risk — no reward.
“If you successfully hit a suicide dive in 2026, no one cares, but if you mess it up, you could truly harm yourself! Don’t do it”
The video shows IYO SKY landing awkwardly on the back of her head, although she is able to get back to her feet, albeit it a touch unsteadily.
The match in question came from this week’s WWE Raw, with Raquel Rodriguez defeating IYO SKY after the dive, which took out Asuka.
Don’t Try This At Home
It was the advice seen on WWE Home Video for decades, with “Don’t Try This At Home” as a reminder to fans that the stars they were watching were trained professionals.
Despite being highly trained stars, however, accidents happen, moves go wrong, and stars get injured, with the most obvious impact being a rewriting of storylines, as was seen with the recent injuries to Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker and other prominent names.
While WWE has access to top-tier medical professionals who can work with injured talent for an in-ring recovery, mitigating the possibility of injury, such as in the way that Rosenberg suggests, has to be at the forefront of any performer’s mind.
Sure, they want to get the fan reaction, to have that moment, but with Rosenberg noting that “no one cares” about a move such as a suicide dive, the risk vs reward debate is a pretty clear-cut one.
Some injuries happen in the most unexpected way, others come from the type of risk that IYO SKY put upon herself with that dive through the ropes. The individual who shot the video can be heard saying “oh, no” over and over, but more telling is the reaction from a section of the audience at Madison Square Garden, chanting “You f**ked up”.
While many stars step back into the ring after injury, potentially with a revised style, there are too many who are forced into early retirement due to a move that is likely to be remembered as a “botch”.
