There were some interesting botches from the most unlikely sources at Survivor Series.
There were some interesting botches from the most unlikely sources at Survivor Series.

This year's WWE Survivor Series took over the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, and saw RAW and SmackDown battle it out for bragging rights.

There were six intense matches on the show and a 25-man battle royal to celebrate 25 years since The Rock's WWE debut. When the card is this stacked, there are usually a few moments that the superstars would rather forget.

Some of the company's biggest stars were on the card for this year's Survivor Series, and the show boasted several hotly anticipated matches. This includes two traditional Survivor Series matches, Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair and Big E vs. Roman Reigns.

However, there were several botches from the most unlikely sources on the night when RAW reigned supreme. The following list looks at just five of the biggest botches from WWE Survivor Series 2021.


#5. Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch was riddled with botches at Survivor Series

Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch opened the main show with one of the most personal matches in recent WWE history. The two women cosplayed as Marvel characters Wanda Maximoff and Agatha Harkness from WandaVision, but it appears that this wasn't enough to remove the errors throughout their match.

While this fantastic match delivered as the next step in the feud between the two former friends, several botches took away from the action.

Several members from WWE Universe took to social media to claim that the mistakes were off-putting throughout. Charlotte Flair messed up a number of her moves, including her signature Moonsault.

Becky Lynch wasn't blameless in the match either, since the RAW Women's Champion was involved in some awkward maneuvers before she finally picked up the win. Even the referee had some issues in this match, which is a shame since it was one of the highlights from Survivor Series 2021.

#4. Finn Balor botches a leap over the ropes at Survivor Series

Finn Balor took part in the traditional men's Survivor Series elimination match earlier tonight but was eliminated by Sheamus. The former Universal Champion's night ended early when a Brogue Kick struck him. But The Prince was already having a tough night anyway.

Balor tried to leap over the ropes during a back-and-forth with Happy Corbin but slipped and was forced to recover and try again. Thankfully, Balor made it look seamless the second time, but the initial mistake was evident.


#3. Natalya was forced to look busy several times during the women's match

Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair were part of a lengthy exchange in the middle of the women's Survivor Series match, which forced the other members to become mere spectators. There was a point where Natalya had to be knocked off the apron so that she didn't include herself in the pin, but she was then forced to look busy several times.

Nattie could be seen peering over the apron and jumping out of the way whenever the camera panned over to the corner so that she couldn't be seen. 'The Queen of Harts' wasn't the only woman to botch at Survivor Series since the entire match was full of awkward moments.

#2. Sasha Banks re-entered the ring several times ahead of her count-out

Sasha Banks was counted out at Survivor Series after things imploded on Team SmackDown. The Boss was attacked by her teammates and was pulled out of the ring several times to be confronted.

The former Women's Champion could physically enter the ring, which should have broken the count on two occasions. But the referee decided that it was a disqualification.

Sasha's whole body was under the bottom rope at one point, but this still wasn't enough to break the count. Even before her official elimination, Banks was most of the way in the ring, but the referee still continued to count.


#1. WWE decides that they don't want to listen to Kayla Braxton's story at Survivor Series

As part of the kickoff show for Survivor Series, Kayla Braxton and the panel shared stories about The Rock. After Pete Rosenberg shared his story, Kayla tried to share one about when she met The Great One, but she was cut off.

It appears that Kayla may have more rivals in the company, apart from Paul Heyman. As soon as she began sharing her story, the camera cut her off to cover the first match of Survivor Series.

Braxton was forced to end her story prematurely and feed into the match. Technically she should have known that the match was starting but got caught up in the discussion about The Rock.
