3 Hilarious botches you missed this week on Raw (June 17th, 2019)

Monday Night RAW landed in Hollywood this week for the final buildup towards Stomping Grounds on Sunday night. Much of the show centered around Seth Rollins' Universal title defense against Baron Corbin as The Lone Wolf looked to find himself a special guest referee for the match in the hopes that this would sway his advantage over The Architect.

Elsewhere the buildup for the SmackDown Women's Championship match between Bayley and Alexa Bliss continued since The Champion cost Bliss the chance to win the Women's Tag Team Championships alongside Nikki Cross when she took on The IIconics. Lacey Evans and Becky Lynch once again faced off and Ricochet was the man that became the number one contender for the United States Championship, but Samoa Joe is the prize and he ensured that Ricochet knew what was coming his way on Sunday night.

It was an entertaining episode of Monday Night Raw this week, but as ever there were a number of awkward moments for many different superstars that were spotted by the WWE Universe.

#3. That 630

Ricochet will now face Samoa Joe for the United States Championship Sunday night at Stomping Grounds

Ricochet managed to come out on top in the fatal five-way elimination match that also included The Miz, Braun Strowman, Bobby Lashley and Cesaro but it wasn't a match that was straight forward for the One and Only.

Whilst Ricochet was able to pick up the victory despite being seen as one of the underdogs in the match, the former North American Champion delivered a 630 to The Miz to pick up the victory and it looked as though the move actually really hurt The Awesome star.

Last week Ricochet landed on Cesaro's knee and this time it looked as though he landed across Miz's mid-section rather than his side when he's able to get the full rotation. This could be because he was selling his knee injury, but it didn't look as clean as it did throughout his time in NXT.

#2. Shane McMahon's promo

Shane McMahon tripped over his words this week on Raw

Shane McMahon is old school when it comes to promos which means that much of the time The Best in the World will backtrack and repeat his lines when he knows that he's said something wrong rather than continuing and having the WWE Universe point out his error.

Being a Commissioner and delivering promos on a regular basis hasn't made him immune to errors since this week McMahon delivered one on the titantron to Roman Reigns where he was forced to backtrack after evidentally put too many words into a planned sentence.

Shane wasn't the only one who tripped over his words this week since Kevin Owens and Daniel Bryan did the same thing when they were handed a mic, but their errors were much less noticeable since they didn't backtrack and point out the error that they had made.

#1. Technical errors

Alexa Bliss almost tripped over a stray cameraman this week on Raw

This week's Monday Night Raw did lack the usual amount of in-ring botches, but the technical team more than made up for this with three separate issues. Heath Slater's backstage segment with Shane McMahon started without any sound so Michael Cole was forced to speak over him, before Drew McIntryre's promo later in the show cut off three times and fed to a black screen.

Alexa Bliss was then making her way to the ring when one of the cameramen seemingly got in her way and she had to stop to ask him to move his wire so that she didn't trip. The former Women's Champion took it in her stride, but it was all caught by the live Raw cameras and made Raw look like an amateur operation since these are such simple errors to fix.
