10 heartbreaking WWE moments of 2018

#9: Brie Bella legitimately knocks out Liv Morgan due to a botch

Brie Bella's return was marred by numerous botches.

Despite the constant claims throughout their return that they were legends and pioneers of the women's division, Brie Bella looked a noob when she returned from pregnancy. The Bellas both returned in order to make some appearances at big shows during 2018. They appeared at the Super Showdown and Evolution PPVs.

They also appeared on Raw and Smackdown, wrestling in matches against the Riott Squad.

During most of the matches in which Brie participated, she routinely botched moves. She nearly broke her neck on two suicide dive attempts and the most shocking botch was when she legitimately kicked Liv Morgan in the face.

The kick knocked Morgan out and gave the Riott Squad member a concussion. In an age where safety to prevent concussion issues has become so important, it was careless for Brie to continue wrestling.

I know it was an accident but it was a segment Brie Bella has performed numerous times. The botch knocked Morgan out of action for a few weeks but she would ultimately be fine. Bella was obviously sorry about the incident and reportedly apologized to Morgan profusely.

Since she's a vet, though, she probably got a pass. Had Morgan done the same to Bella, she probably would have been humiliated on screen somehow. For someone who is treated as a veteran of the division, she should be much better and safer in the ring then she was in 2018.
