Today we present you 20 Recent Mistakes Fans Completely Missed In WWE
20. Kane’s mask comes flying off
He may be the mayor of Knox County, Tennessee,
but at Crown Jewel in 2018,
Kane returned to the ring to team with The Undertaker
against D-Generation X.
follow-up from The Game and The Deadman’s match at Super Show-Down,
the bout wasn’t the best, as during one spot,
Shawn Michaels accidentally knocked Kane’s mask off whilst battling on the top rope
Cameras were quick to zoom out from the spot,
but the damage was already done as images
of the mask less Kane quickly circulated on social media.
A low-point in a match that also had sloppy botches
and loud communications,
this match seemed more like a WCW main event:
a complete mess featuring Superstars far past their prime.
19. Natalya instantly feels bad
When Ruby Riott broke the sunglasses
of the late Jim Neidhart on the November 5th 2018 edition of RAW,
this rightly infuriated Natalya.
The daughter of the Anvil,
Natalya waged a war against the Riott Squad member,
leading up to a Tables match
at the TLC 2018 pay-per-view.
During the match, Natalya landed a stiff slap to Riott’s face,
and though they were bitter enemies,
couldn’t help but check on her opponent.
Unfortunately, this moment of care was caught on camera,
as millions of fans saw
the pair break character,
with Riott letting the former SmackDown Women’s Champion
know she was okay.
18. Cole forgets recent history
Michael Cole has been a commentator
in WWE for over 20 years,
so you’d expect him to be an encyclopaedia of wrestling knowledge.
After all, Cole has sat ring-side at some of wrestling’s biggest moments,
from Mr McMahon winning the 1999 Royal Rumble,
to Seth Rollins cashing-in at WrestleMania 31.
But even Cole isn’t perfect,
and whilst commentating on
Kurt Angle’s match against Dolph Ziggler at Crown Jewel,
said it was the Olympian’s first match since WrestleMania 34.
This simply wasn’t the case,
as Angle had competed in the Greatest Royal Rumble match in April 2018,
and had wrestled multiple times
as the Conquistador after that.
It may have only been a slight hiccup by the voice of the WWE,
but one that fans were quick to point out.
17. Charlotte launches Microphone into the crowd
Since debuting on the main roster in 2015,
Charlotte Flair has become one of WWE’s top heels.
Much like her father the Nature Boy,
Charlotte has shown herself to be an incredible athlete,
as well as a star on the mic.
Unfortunately during a segment on the October 2nd, 2018 edition of SmackDown
where Flair confronted Becky Lynch ahead of their Women’s title
match at Super Show-Down.
Making her way to the ring, Flair threw her broken microphone into the crowd, accidentally hitting a fan.
It all happened so fast that most fans didn’t even notice it had happened in the first place,
though the young fan who got hit will certainly remember this edition of SmackDown.
16. Refs come to the aid of Becky
The Man may say that she doesn’t need anyone,
but during her match against Charlotte Flair at WWE Evolution,
Becky Lynch needed some assistance.
During the match, Lynch powerbombed her former friend from the ring apron through a table,
and nearly fell herself,
which would have no-doubt ruined the spot.
And this would have probably happened,
if not for the timely interjection of veteran referee Mike Chioda, who held onto the Irish Superstar’s attire,
keeping her in place.
Instead of collapsing into the same table
she had just driven her opponent through,
Lynch was able to stand her ground, and retained the SmackDown Women’s Championship
in a truly historic night for women’s wrestling.
15.WWE ignores the Kick-Off
At Survivor Series 2018, Monday Night RAW
defeating SmackDown in all interpromotional matches,
at least according to WWE.
But after the dust had settled,
fans were quick to point out the simple math error the company had made.
Instead of the show being a clean sweep,
it was the tag teams of the Blue brand that bested their RAW counterparts
on the Kick-off show, meaning the actual score was 6-to-1.
Sure, having just one win against RAW’s six wouldn’t have made much of a difference,
but fans were furious at the idea of WWE forgetting their own history from earlier that day.
And that win probably meant a huge deal to the SmackDown Superstars who earned it.
14. Ziggler tries to Show Off, and fails
Dolph Ziggler has been a staple in WWE for over a decade,
and is known for his athletic ability in the ring
and care-free promos on the mic.
But during his feud with Seth Rollins in the summer of 2018,
the Show Off was a bit too care free in his promo,
claiming he had defeated the Architect at Summerslam
to retain the Intercontinental title.
Casual fans may not have noticed the mistake,
but hardcore fans didn’t,
as Ziggler was trying to say
he had beaten Rollins at Extreme Rules,
and not Summerslam.
To add insult to injury, when the pair did face off
at the biggest party of the summer,
Rollins beat Ziggler to regain the title.
13. Nobody catches HBK
Even before Crown Jewel aired,
fans were not too thrilled about the show.
And as the event went on,
things got worse as a series of bad booking decisions
left many fans feeling underwhelmed.
During the main event between the Brothers of Destruction and DX,
Shawn Michaels delivered a patented moonsault,
though neither Kane nor Undertaker were able to catch him.
This led to Michaels taking a nasty bump on his face,
though many didn’t notice the botch
thanks to some quick-thinking from the camera crew.
Speaking on Edge and Christian’s podcast,
HBK admitted he really hurt his nose due to the botch,
and fans shouldn’t wonder
why the Hall of Famer
is seemingly finished competed in the ring for good this time.
12. Failed Women’s Table Spot in Chile
Anytime you incorporate weapons into a match,
there’s always the risk something could go wrong.
And though weapons can lead to serious injury,
during this live event in Chile,
it led to a very embarrassing moment.
During a Tables match between Natalya and Sarah Logan in November 2018,
Natalya aimed to powerbomb her opponent through the table from the top rope.
As you can probably guess at this point, the table didn’t break, and Logan was left sprawled out across the surface.
Ever the professional, Natalya improvised,
diving from the top rope to finish the job,
though this moment of improv is something that
should never have happened in the first place.
11. Ref botches rope break in Styles Vs. Joe
The event Starrcade played host to
to some of WCW’s most iconic moments,
so it makes sense that WWE brought the classic event back.
Stacking the card with top matches in 2018,
there was a lot expected from AJ Styles
and Samoa Joe in their steel cage,
and whilst both men did great,
it was the ref who let the team down.
During the match, Joe got his foot on the ropes during a pin,
though because of cage match rules the ref chose to ignore it.
This was fine until later on,
Styles locked the Samoan in the calf crusher, but was forced to break the pin by the ref when Joe got to the ropes.
Irate, Styles let the ref know exactly what he thought,
whilst Corey Graves also gave him grief on commentary.
10. Fox is late to the party
In defence of Alicia Fox, her tag match with Mickie James
against Trish Stratus
and Lita
at WWE Evolution
was never the original plan.
Replacing the injured Alexa Bliss though,
Fox held her own against her Hall of Fame opponents,
but should’ve done much better in one spot.
When Trish hit her signature on Mickie, Fox was supposed to break the pin,
but was completely wrong.
As cameras picked up Mickie asking Alicia to break the pin,
the referee was forced to deliver a painfully slow count,
giving Alicia just enough time to interrupt,
though the damage had been done.
9. Refs aide Becky, again
We saw earlier how referee Mike Chioda helped Becky Lynch out
during her Evolution match against Charlotte Flair,
but that wasn’t the only time the veteran ref paid dividends.
When The Man was locked in Flair’s figure-8,
the plan was supposed to be for Lynch to batter her opponent with a nearby chair,
which was actually across the ring.
With nowhere to go, Lynch was left to struggle towards the chair,
though when the cameras briefly turned away,
Chioda made his move, kicking the chair to The Man. A resourceful referee
able to think on the fly,
its no wonder why Mike has been employed by WWE for nearly 30 years.
8. Kofi slips out during SmackDown
There have been fewer stables in recent memory
more entertaining than The New Day,
and during the 2018 Halloween special of SmackDown
the group once again paid tribute to the Superstars of the past.
Appearing dressed as the Brood,
the trio took part in a brawl,
during which Kofi Kingston went to leave the ring.
Just as the camera cut away from the future WWE Champion
Kofi can be seen falling off the apron,
something most fans will have missed.
Those watching at home though won’t have
missed Corey Graves laughing about the slip,
as within minutes,
Twitter was abuzz with footage of Kingston’s botched exit.
7. Triple H’s pec tear
Another mistake from Crown Jewel,
and another one concerning the main event
Brothers of Destruction
and D-generation X
During the bout,
both the Game and HBK needed to take a breather on the outside,
though this break seemed to be taking a lot longer than usual.
The truth is that Triple H had torn one of his pectorals,
and was letting his tag partner know, something caught by the cameras.
This put Michaels in a predicament
as not only had he been out of the ring for years,
but he was now had to take the majority of bumps for DX,
who were still able to topple Kane
and The Undertaker.
6. MSG main event blunder
Madison Square Garden
will always be a special
place for WWE,
and in December 2018, the company had their
first ever women’s main event in the famous arena.
A hotly-contested match between Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch and Asuka,
this was a rematch of their TLC pay per view bout,
but thankfully wasn’t being televised.
During the match, Asuka was supposed to springboard off Charlotte to land a heel kick on Lynch, but instead Asukaslipped, landed badly, and delivered a botched kick to The Man.
Though the match wasn’t televised,
fans were already recording,
and were quick to upload the botch to social media.
5. Ali apologises after hitting his finisher
Mustafa Ali has said he wants
to be a role model to people around the world,
and has certainly accomplished that as a
SmackDown Live Superstar.
Joining the brand in December 2018
the former 205 Live star was
was thrust into a top spot,
teaming with AJ Styles to take
on Daniel Bryan and Andrade
on the December 18 edition of SmackDown.
Pinning the then-WWE Champion with his reverse-450 splash,
Ali couldn’t help but show some care for his opponent,
with cameras picking up Ali saying “sorry Bryan” during his victory.
A talented Superstar with a good attitude
and heart of gold, it seems that Ali could go
very far on the blue brand as a babyface.
4. Ref stops the count in Hardy Vs. Joe
As the attention of the WWE Universe
is on the Superstar’s during a match,
referees can often be overlooked.
But during the New Year 2019 edition of SmackDown Live,
this referee certainly drew attention to himself
during a match between Samoa Joe and Jeff Hardy.
In a feud where Joe had brought up Hardy’s troubled past,
the pair were ready to rip each other apart, brawling on the outside of the ring.
As Joe rolled into the ring,
the ref’s count was at eight,
though the ref bizarrely restarted from one when he should have continued.
This botch was noticed by everyone,
as it seemed Joe had the match won,
and yelled at the sloppy referee for his poor officiating,
before beating Hardy ironically
via referee stoppage.
3. Nia Jax says she’s 300.5 ounces
We all know that WWE promos
nowadays are heavily scripted,
but even these speeches are not immune from mistakes.
During the January 7th, 2019 edition of RAW,
Nia Jax made a noticeable error,
when she referred to herself as weighing 300.5 ounces.
Those of you savvy with weight conversion will know
this isn’t what Jax meant,
as 300.5 ounces equates to about 19 pounds.
A mistake from the former RAW Women’s Champion,
many fans may not have picked up on it,
though Ronda Rousey certainly did,
and could be seen smiling in the background.
2. Ambrose shows his sensitive side
When Dean Ambrose turned on Seth Rollins in October 2018, it seemed the Ohio-native was a lone wolf.
Betraying everyone he had teamed with and turning his back on the fans,
, Ambrose told everyone he was on his own, but even the Lunatic Fringe wasn’t immune to his heart.
Competing for the Intercontinental Championship on the January 7th RAW
against the Architect, the action eventually found its way to the commentary table.
There, Ambrose would quickly grab the phone of his wife Renee Young,
and tossed it to Michael Cole for safe-keeping, earning some serious husband points.
Though he won the match and Retained the gold,
Ambrose definitely looked worse for wear, but had definitely made the right call in protecting his wife’s phone.
1.Rollins and Ziggler rock around the clock
The Iron match at Extreme Rules 2018 between Dolph Ziggler and Seth Rollins
should’ve been a classic, but thanks to some fans attending live, became famous for all the wrong reasons.
During the match, fans counted down the final ten seconds of the clock,
every minute, angering the Superstars and WWE to the point where they removed it from the screen.
This only made things worse, as fans chanted for the clock to return,
and the cameras caught Ziggler and Rollins agreeing that the crowd had gotten much worse
A complete disaster thanks to the fans in the crowd, both Rollins and Ziggler must have been furious after the match,
though the fans paid more attention next month at their much-better received rematch at Summerslam.
