It wasn't a great week for the women in WWE

3 Hilarious Botches That You Missed This Week On Raw (May 13th, 2019)

This week's episode of Monday Night Raw came from the United Kingdom as the company pre-taped their final build-up to the Money in the Bank pay-per-view this weekend.

Of course, there were a number of matches that were pushed forward as Becky Lynch, Samoa Joe and Seth Rollins look set to defend their Championships this weekend and the pressure is obviously reaching fever pitch. It was thought that because the show was pre-recorded more than five hours before it aired in America last night, the company would have been able to fix any botches that happened or at least edit them out, but this wasn't the case.

Even if WWE did edit out some of the botches there were still a few that were left in and here are some of the best ones.

Lacey Evans faces Becky Lynch this weekend for the Raw Women's Championship in what will be her first Championship match on the main roster. Evans has reportedly done enough to impress WWE officials backstage but has made consistent appearances on this list over the past few weeks that show that she hasn't been able to impress the WWE Universe.

Last night on Raw Evans and Flair teamed up to attack Becky Lynch as part of a double contract signing, before The Man was powerbombed through a table. It was made obvious that this should have been a double powerbomb but Evans had no idea what she was doing so Lynch had to save herself and turn it into a single powerbomb off Charlotte to avoid injury.

Evans is in one of the most high profile matches of her career this weekend, hopefully her botch streak doesn't continue at Money in the Bank.

#2. Is that not a legal cover?

Dana Brooke had Natalya pinned on Raw

Dana Brooke, Naomi, Nikki Cross, and Natalya all faced off on Raw ahead of Money in the Bank. Nikki Cross was a shock addition to the match but was obviously only involved because she is from Glasgow, Scotland and WWE were over in the United Kingdom last night.

Whilst Nikki got herself a huge win by pinning Natalya, there was little build-up to the actual Money in the Bank women's ladder match since Cross won't be part of it and Alexa Bliss' luggage was lost so she was forced to sit on commentary.

As part of the match, Natalya put Dana in the usual surfboard position, a submission that actually sees Natalya's shoulders flat on the mat with Dana on top of her which means that this was a legal pin. The referee was in a great position to see that her shoulders were down but interestingly didn't make the count.

#1. Braun Strowman hit Renee with a chair

Sami Zayn picked up the win and will now be added to the Money in the Bank ladder match

Braun Strowman took on Sami Zayn on Monday Night Raw with the added stipulation that if Zayn was able to defeat The Monster Among Men then he would take his place in the Money in the Bank match.

Zayn was put in a dumpster last week on Raw and this was The Underdog from The Underground's chance to exact some revenge on Strowman for his part on the attack. The match was Falls Count Anywhere which meant that the two stars brawled all over the arena before Strowman powerbombed Zayn through the announce table.

In the process, Strowman actually hit Renee with a chair since she was in the wrong place at the wrong time and wasn't fully prepared for Strowman to throw the chair in her direction.
