10 Funniest WWE botches of all time involving current superstars

#6 Rey Mysterio vs. gravity in WWE locker room (WWE SmackDown)

Only gravity can outsmart Rey Mysterio in WWE

Rey Mysterio belongs to a particular category of WWE Superstars who played the same character through decades, and yet, the crowd never turned on him. The masked legend of wrestling crafted a niche for himself with his jaw-dropping maneuvers. Unfortunately, Mysterio was once betrayed by gravity during a backstage promo, and the results were hilarious.

The incident dates back to the time when SmackDown was still in its pre-taped era. In one episode, Rey Mysterio teamed up with Edge and John Cena to take on Chris Benoit, Kurt Angle, and Eddie Guerrero in a six-man Tag Team Match. Before the star-studded in-ring bout, Edge and Cena discussed their strategy backstage while Mysterio was doing pull-ups on a rack just behind them.

Despite his small stature, Rey Mysterio’s weight was too much for the wooden plank that caused it to break. A surprised Cena loudly said “Holy Moly” while Edge couldn’t control his laughter and had to walk out of the frame. This segment was not aired on TV as WWE reshot the segment without the botch. But thanks to the internet, YouTube and Reddit will never let this video die.

#5 Former WWE world champions bury themselves on live TV

3MB deserved more appreciation in WWE

Long before Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal won the WWE Championship, respectively, they were a part of a famous stable called 3MB alongside Heath Slater and later, Hornswoggle.

In hindsight, this group was much bolder at their time than they appeared. 3MB once buried themselves on live television after realizing that they forgot the promo, and it is one of the funniest things you would ever see in WWE.

They called each other out for forgetting their lines and pointed out how they should have delivered a promo in one take. Their dynamic is naturally funny, and the segment looks as real as it could get.

Even Michael Cole struggled to keep a straight face when all 3MB members pointed out how ridiculous they were on camera. It was a fun segment, and things like this should happen more often in WWE.
