Woman in the Philippines Twerks on Basketball Hoop, Falls as It Comes Crashing Down

A woman from the Philippines took twerking to a whole new level by performing on top of a basketball hoop — before it came crashing down.

In a video shared by TMZ, the woman climbs up to the top of a basketball hoop as a crowd cheers her on. Once she reaches the rim, she begins gyrating for the excited group below.

What started as a few seconds of twerking quickly turned into a moment of pure terror when the hoop tipped over, presumably because it wasn’t designed to support a human’s weight. The woman then fell to the ground.

The video ends without showing whether she was okay, but from the closing frames, it appears she may have just had the wind knocked out of her.

If nothing else, she certainly learned that twerking on top of a basketball hoop is probably not a good idea. Check out the clip below to see the full moment unfold.

In other famous twerking news, Jeremy Lin went viral last October when he shook what his mother gave him at a Jackson Wang concert.

Footage from the rapper’s show in Macau shows Lin briefly putting his hands on his hips and wiggling for a few seconds in front of the crowd.

In a TikTok post following the event, Lin wrote, “POV: @jacksonwang852g7 tells you to dance in front of almost 20,000 people. Almost shat my pants.”

Backstage News On Dezmond Xavier’s TNA Contract Status After Return

Dezmond Xavier is back in TNA, for now. He made an appearance at TNA Turning Point to rejoin his Rascalz brothers, Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz. However, Fightful Select has confirmed that Xavier is not currently under contract with TNA. Despite this, there are creative plans for him moving forward with the team.

In addition, it has been reported that Zachary Wentz’s deal with TNA is set to expire at the end of the year. The group plans to evaluate their options going forward, and there is expected to be significant interest in The Rascalz outside of TNA.

Xavier first made a name for himself on the independent circuit and in TNA, where he was a co-founding member of the stable The Rascalz. During this time, he won the 2017 GFW Super X Cup. He also held tag team championships in PWG, CZW, and AAW alongside his partner Zachary Wentz.

After signing with WWE in 2020, Xavier and Wentz formed the team MSK. They went on to win the 2021 Men’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic and became two-time NXT Tag Team Champions. Additionally, Xavier captured the NXT North American Championship in October 2022, holding the title for a record-setting 269 days.

Following a significant back injury, Xavier made his return in April 2024, reuniting briefly with The Rascalz. Unfortunately, his tenure was cut short when he was released in October 2025.
