It was the go-home episode of Monday Night Raw before Extreme Rules this week, which meant that this was the final build up many superstars had ahead of their hotly anticipated showdowns on Sunday night.

Sportskeeda is the one-stop destination for latest WWE rumors and wrestling news.

The build-up to Extreme Rules has been lacklustre, to say the least, which meant that WWE had a lot to do on this week's Raw in the hopes that the WWE Universe would finally feel the hype of the final pay-per-view stop ahead of SummerSlam. More matches were made and rivalries were extended this week before WWE heads Pittsburgh this weekend.

As with every live show, there is always room for error and all of the stars on the following list definitely had a week to forget since their botches weren't easily covered.


#3. Dolph Ziggler's promo

Dolph Ziggler defends his Intercontinental Championship against Seth Rollins this weekend at Extreme Rules, but ahead of the match, Rollins and Ziggler had another verbal confrontation but it was shockingly the veteran who's promo was pulled up by the WWE Universe.

It is unknown what the end of the sentence was that Ziggler was trying to get out, but after he botched it the crowd started to boo and he was forced to stop and regather his thoughts. Boston was aware that Ziggler had made an error and they ensured that The Showoff was unable to cover it up.

#2. The referee enforces the rules

This week on Raw Mojo Rawley finally accepted the rematch against No Way Jose after what has been weeks of the duo going back and forth. Rawley was on top for most of the match and managed to pick up the win off an Alabama slam from seemingly out of nowhere, but the referee was on hand to ensure that the rules were enforced.

When Rawley went for the pin, the referee had to tell him a number of times to check the shoulders since they obviously weren't down. Rawley did manage to fix the situation and pick up a huge win, but not before the WWE Universe, spotted his mistake.

#1. Baron Corbin doesn't like lullabies

Baron Corbin doesn't have a great reputation when it comes to his work on the mic, but this week on Raw the "Constable" of Monday Night Raw slipped up when he decided to sing a lullaby to Finn Balor.

It was obvious that the former United States Champion had rehearsed the lullaby a number of times, but he forgot to ensure that he could actually say the word lullaby since he stumbled over it a few times, before telling the WWE Universe that it was a tough word for him to say with a Boston accent.
