Paul Pogba busted out WWE legend The Rock's famous 'Rock Bottom' finishing move on Yerry Mina during Manchester United vs Everton.
It was a disappointing result for United who only managed a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford against a depleted Toffees.
Things could've got much worse, as Mina scored with a few minutes remaining before it was ruled out for offside.
Substitute Pogba decided to bring his opponent back down to earth moments later by laying the smackdown on him.

Mina attempted to shield Pogba away from the ball and within seconds, found himself tussling with the World Cup winner.
Pogba then slammed Mina down to the ground and went with him. If only he'd rolled over for a pinfall.

Anthony Martial scored his first goal in eight months to give United the lead in the first half.
Martial started ahead of Pogba on the left wing and Edinson Cavani started up front ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo.
It was a much changed United side to the one that snatched a dramatic win against Villarreal on Wednesday.
Andros Townsend equalised in the second half to score his fifth goal of the season.
He then paid tribute to Ronaldo with his very own attempt at the iconic 'Siu' celebration in the corner.
The result means United have only won two of their last six games and pressure is starting to mount on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
He said post-match: "We didn't concede many chances today, but we conceded a goal. We had to deal with one or two moments and we didn't, in that counter-attack.
"We got out-muscled. We should've cleared it of course, but that's in every game in the Premier League.
"You can work all day long on system and defending, but it has to be dealt with there and then."
United have also failed to keep a clean sheet in their last nine league games at home - their worst run in 50 years.
