3 Botches You Probably Missed On Raw (August 27th)

This week's episode of Raw centered around the fallout from The Shield's reunion as Braun Strowman reacted to being outnumbered on last week's show. There were a number of highlights this week as Toronto's own Trish Stratus made her return to WWE whilst there was another match made official for Hell in a Cell.

Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns will collide in the only match that The Shield can't help Reigns' inside, i.e., Hell in a Cell. Strowman, however, did have his revenge for the beating that The Shield gave him last week when he conspired with Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler in the main event and gave the Hounds of Justice a good ol' thrashing one by one.

One of the most dangerous pay-per-views of the year is now just three weeks away and it appears that even though the card is shaping up, there are many stars who aren't quite up to the standards needed for what could easily be considered one of WWE's B-level pay-per-views.


#3 Corey Graves needs to check his stats

Commentary wasn't at its best this week on Raw

Not a week goes by that the commentary team doesn't make some kind of botch when it comes to the superstars who are stood in front of them. Raw is live for more than three hours which means that there is plenty of time for someone to make an error and this week it was Corey Graves.

Graves stated that Roman Reigns was the Universal Champion "again" when he has never held that Championship before. Roman is a former World Champion, but he isn't a former Universal Champion, which is something that many of the WWE Universe picked up on.

Jonathan Coachman was also below par this week as he attempted to read out a quote "The person who laughs last laughs loudest" but he actually said, "The person who laughs last laughs fastest."

#2 Elias and Trish Stratus

WWE Raw was in Toronto this week and it appears that Elias decided to run down the wrong town since WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus was on hand to ensure that Elias was aware that she would always stand up for her hometown.

Stratus made her way out to the ring to tell Elias that he had stepped over the line. Elias has come up on the list of botches a number of times, but it wasn't just The Drifter who tripped over his words as part of this segment since Trish Stratus also followed suit in what began as quite a botchy promo, but luckily both stars managed to save it after a few minutes.

#3 Alexa Bliss' meant 'invoke', right?

Alexa Bliss was in Alicia Fox's corner this week on Raw when she faced off with Natalya, but ahead of the match, she cut a promo where she built up her match at Evolution against Trish Stratus as well as informing the Raw Women's Champion Ronda Rousey that she was invoking her rematch clause at Hell in a Cell.

Bliss then responded to the crowd, who obviously thought that the match was going to happen in Toronto, but rather then saying invoke, she said: "revoke". Jonathan Coachman then pulled her up on the botch on commentary to reassure the WWE Universe that she did actually mean "invoke".
