Hugh Jackman Breaks Professional Wrestler's Jaw In Real Life

It's Wolverine, bub.

Hugh Jackman appeared on WWE Raw on Monday night, making an effort to reach out to the young male audience that could make or break his upcoming robot boxing film, "Real Steel." A unique blend of glitzy showman and physical specimen, Jackman helped move story lines and drama along, and near the end of the night, got in his own bit of action.

The star ended up in the corner of underdog wrestler Zach Ryder as he took on Dolph Ziggler, a heel wrestler known for antagonizing the audience and his opponents. He extended the annoyance to Jackman, intentionally confusing his famed Marvel X-Men character with Batman.

So Jackman made him pay.

Fast forward to 1:05 in the video below and check out Jackman just straight up laying out Ziggler with a punch that would make his robot buddies proud. And while it was staged, the results certainly weren't planned. »
