3 Botches you probably missed this week on Raw (March 11, 2019)

This week's episode of Monday Night Raw began the official build-up towards WrestleMania 35 since there are no obstacles in the way of the show now that Fastlane is in the rearview mirror.

The pressure of the biggest pay-per-view of the year being on the horizon has definitely hit many members of the WWE locker room as the botches on this week's episode were obvious and apparent once again.

Fastlane itself saw a number of interesting botches and it appears that Raw followed the same kind of trend with some hilarious botches in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania last night.

Here are some of the best botches that eagle-eyed members of the WWE Universe picked up on as part of last night's show.

#3 Finn Balor's wild ride

Bobby Lashley got the better of Finn Balor on Raw

Finn Balor wasn't even part of Fastlane last night, despite being the current Intercontinental Champion, which could be why The Demon King was forced to defend his Championship against former Champion Bobby Lashley on Raw.

Balor was in control of the match throughout before Lio Rush decided to involve himself and help Lashley win back the Championship that The Man of the Hour cost him back at Elimination Chamber.

Balor was on top of the match when Lashley picked him up and seemingly went for a version of Snake Eyes on the top turnbuckle but instead, he dropped him hard on the top turnbuckle and forced him to catch himself and try to land without injuring himself in the corner. It looked like Lashley used a little too much power on the smaller man, and Balor definitely paid for it.

These two men are now expected to enter into a feud surrounding the Intercontinental Championship heading into WrestleMania.

#2 Ronda Rousey's dangerous botch

Ronda dropped Dana Brooke onto the back of her head

Ronda Rousey has made headlines all over the world this week after her recent outburst when it comes to the WWE and their fanbase. This week on Raw she seemingly continued this when she ranted about how she was going to destroy the company's hero at WrestleMania.

Rousey was then approached by Dana Brooke who took offense to the fact that Rousey was trying to tear down a business that she had come to love being a part of. This then led to Rousey attacking Brooke after she accepted an open challenge that had never been issued and Rousey delivered a shocking version of Piper's Pit that could have broken Brooke's neck.

Rousey neglected to put her arm over Brooke's neck to protect it and it can be seen clearly that the former NXT star is pretty shaken from the fact that she could have hurt herself.

#1 Batista wasn't ready for Raw

Batista was granted his match against Triple H at WrestleMania

Batista was never the greatest Superstar on the mic, but he returned to Raw this week to cut a promo and make his match with Triple H official for WrestleMania, in three weeks time. The Animal tripped over his words a number of times as he was obviously shown up by The Game who was firing on all cylinders as he looked for some revenge for the way Batista attacked Flair a few weeks ago.

It's obvious that Batista has been away from the company for a while and isn't used to being in front of the live WWE Universe because his nerves were present. Luckily he got through the promo and was able to make his match official, but Batista has definitely learned from his mistakes and will now go home and practice for any future promos WWE needs him to deliver.

Lmfao how many times is @DaveBautista gonna botch his words through his promo, he botched his talking at least twice that I know of #raw #WWE
