Fox News Host Abby Hornacek Suplexed on Live TV by Olympian Kennedy Blades

Her quick reassurance shifts attention to the safety of on-air stunts.

Overview

  • Hornacek, who was covering RAF Wrestling in Tampa on Saturday, agreed to let RAF champion Kennedy Blades demonstrate a suplex live on Fox & Friends.
  • Hornacek told viewers she felt fine after the throw and called in Sunday to say she had no injuries and that the move only bruised her ego.
  • The clip spread widely on social media by Sunday, with more than two million views, and Hornacek posted it with the caption, “Got suplexed by an Olympian today.”
  • Blades, an Olympic silver medalist and world bronze medalist, said she executed the technique correctly and explained she turned at the end to keep Hornacek off her neck.
  • The moment doubled as promotion for Real American Freestyle on Fox Nation and also drew criticism from commentators who argued such high-impact demos are risky for untrained hosts.
