Following an altercation with Jinder Mahal at WrestleMania 33, NFL star, Rob “Gronk”
Gronkowski was supposed to hop the barricade and help his friend, Mojo Rawley win the Andre
The Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
But, one of the security guards didn’t quite get the memo and rushed to stop Gronk before
being swarmed by referees who filled her in.
Despite the finish almost being ruined, everything went ahead as planned in the end.
I imagine Gronk’s post-match party with Mojo went a little like this…
The Hardcore battle royal match at WrestleMania 2000 saw the Hardcore championship change
hands a total of 10 times in 15-minutes under 24/7 rules.
The match was a concussion party and the climax saw Hardcore Holly emerge as the winner which
wasn’t part of the script.
What actually was supposed to happen was that the timer was supposed to expire before the
referee could count to three so Crash Holly would remain Hardcore champion but bad timing
meant the referee had to award the win to Hardcore Holly.
At WrestleMania 23, John Cena and Shawn Michaels faced off in an epic encounter.
But before the match took place, they had an unwelcome intruder…
The two put on a clinic but it didn’t live up to the expectations of Michaels, who was
furious with Cena.
At the end of the match, there was a planned spot where Michaels would shake Cena’s hand,
however, Michaels angrily stormed off.
He was unhappy with the way Cena no-sold his leg that Michaels spent the beginning of the
match working on.
For the conclusion of WrestleMania 8, Papa Shango, the voodoo practitioner was supposed
to come out and cause a DQ finish in Hulk Hogan’s match with Sid Vicious in order
to protect Hogan’s leg drop finisher.
But instead, Sid Vicious was forced to kick out as Papa Shango missed his cue.
Prior to that nobody had ever kicked out of Hogan’s leg drop on TV!
Had The Ultimate Warrior not returned, fans would have left the arena feeling sick to
their stomachs with that conclusion.
At WrestleMania 35, Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey made history in becoming
the first women to main event WrestleMania.
However, a botched finish left an irreparable mark on what was supposed to be a historic
match.
According to reports, the original plan was to have Lynch tap Flair out with an armbar
but instead, Rousey suffered her first-ever pinfall loss despite her shoulder not being
down on the mat.
It was a kick in the face for Rousey… or knee but at least the right person won I suppose.
