4 Botches and mistakes you missed this week on Monday Night RAW (October 7th, 2019)

The fall out from this weekend's Hell in a Cell pay-per-view was expected to dominate Monday Night RAW since the focus is now set to shift to Crown Jewel which takes place in less than three weeks time.

Instead, WWE didn't reference Hell in a Cell much all night and both Seth Rollins and Bray Wyatt were mysteriously absent from the show. Wyatt was reported to have been injured as part of the Hell in a Cell main event, but later appeared after the cameras finished rolling, whilst Rollins was at the arena but WWE opted to now have him appear in front of the live crowd.

Instead, WWE gave a number of other stars the chance to be part of RAW and focused on storylines including Lana, Rusev, Tyson Fury and Braun Strowman. It was a strange fallout episode following a pay-per-view and as expected, it contained a number of shocking botches and mistakes.


#4 Lacey Evans' Moonsault

Much like Charlotte Flair, Lacey Evans has shown off a number of times that she can do a fantastic moonsault, the only issue is the fact that the move only looks good if she's able to perform it on an opponent who is lying down.

Evans and Flair have both delivered moonsaults to standing opponents before and it makes the move look like nothing more than a backward clothesline, which was proven once again last night.

Lacey Evans took on Natalya in a Last Woman Standing match where she delivered a moonsault off the barricade, which looked as though it barely touched Natalya and The Queen of Harts also looked as though she was taking the bump before Evans even touched her.

It was a great match between two of WWE's best female technical wrestlers, but there were still a number of awkward moments throughout.

#3 The Street Profits

The Street Profits have been the best thing on Monday Night RAW for a long time, even though it is infuriating that WWE is still yet to allow them to wrestle on the main roster. That being said, Montez Ford has enough charisma that he's been able to create a following of his own based entirely on his recent work on RAW.

The Street Profits have been delivering some fantastic promos on RAW over the past few weeks and this week was no different as they looked forward to the WWE Draft on Friday night and listed some of the potential candidates who could be moving brands.

Apollo Crews was the first one, followed by Buddy Murphy, but because the graphic was slow coming up on the screen, Montez tried to guess who was next on the list and he thought it was Drake Maverick. The former 24/7 Champion was the third star on the list, which meant that Ford had to apologize and then tripped over his lines.

The Street Profits will hopefully be given something to do on RAW following the draft, but for right now they appear to be happy with their unique weekly segments.

#2 Ricochet and Apollo Crews

Ricochet took on Apollo Crews last night on RAW in a match that allowed both men to put themselves in the supermarket window ahead of the WWE Draft on Friday night. Ricochet wasn't part of Hell in a Cell and hasn't had a decent feud since he was the challenger to AJ Styles' United States Championship a few months ago.

Apollo Crews has had a much worse time since he has been used sparingly on RAW for most of the year and now he's one of the stars who hopes that a move in the WWE Draft will allow him to kickstart his career on the main roster.

It was obvious that this match was going to be a show-stealer since both men have some of the best in-ring work in the company, but when high fliers take on risks, more often than not it goes wrong. This time it appears that one of the men was at fault when Ricochet looked to leapfrog Crews but he didn't duck down far enough and this almost caused Ricochet to fall over him as he came back down from the leap.

#1 Tyson Fury cannot gimmick a punch

WWE likes to bring boxers into their storylines when they get the chance, which is why some of the most famous storylines in WWE revolve around a wrestler going toe-to-toe with a professional boxer. Mike Tyson and Stone Cold Steve Austin, Floyd Mayweather and The Big Show and now Tyson Fury and Braun Strowman.

After their altercation on SmackDown Live, Fury was invited to Monday Night RAW, where he and Braun ended up being part of a huge brawl to end this week's episode. Strowman has been in brawls before so he knows how to react with security and with other superstars who are holding him back, but Fury was definitely thrown in at the deep end.

Fury had to punch a number of the security personnel so that he could get his hands on Braun and it looks like he legit managed to hit a number of them, whilst some of his punches were way off target. He also forgot about two of the stars he had to hit and looked as though he forgot some of the segment on a number of occasions.
