Undertaker finds himself high in the list of WWE botches

An actor gets a second take on a movie set, but the same can not be said about a WWE Superstar. Pro-wrestling is one of the biggest live shows, and the Superstars have a little margin for error on a live show.

The WWE Superstars are well trained, and they try their best to avoid mistakes on live shows. Unfortunately, mistakes happen on TV regularly.

Botches occur on RAW, SmackDown Live, and pay-per-views regularly. The incidents could happen during an entrance or a match. Several botches will live on forever and act as embarrassing moments for numerous Superstars.

Here we discuss five memorable botches that we saw on WWE.

#5 Randy Orton's fall through the Announce Table

Randy Orton is known to be one of the biggest Superstars of the modern era. The Viper has been part of Vince McMahon's billion dollar company for over seventeen years, and he won several titles in his career. Being part of the company for years, the former WWE Champion faced many top-tier superstars.

Orton is known for delivering RKO out of nowhere, but the Viper had an embarrassing fall out of nowhere in 2011. Orton faced Kane in a Street Fight match on an episode of SmackDown Live. The two men were fighting outside the ring, and Kane attempted a Chokeslam on the Announce Table, but Orton countered it. Orton subsequently started punching the Big Red Machine, but the former fell forward with the table while attempting a kick.

Orton managed the situation wisely, and he pretended to have a knee injury after the fall. It was undoubtedly a nasty fall for the Viper, and he could have suffered a serious knee injury. However, Orton quickly recovered from the situation and finished the match. Despite the embarrassing blooper, Orton managed to defeat Kane.

#4 Seth Rollins' fall during the Shield entrance

The Shield was one of the most dominating stables in the history of WWE. The trio took WWE by storm after making their debut in 2012. Being a heel stable, they took down superstars like John Cena, The Rock, Undertaker, and many more. Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Dean Ambrose also achieved colossal success individually.

The Shield's entrance was unique as they entered through the crowd. It was not a conventional WWE entrance. During an episode of RAW in 2014, The Shield entered the arena to confront Daniel Bryan in the squared circle. Bryan was ready with a steel chair to fight the trio, but a botch happened.

Dean Ambrose crossed the barricade to enter the ring, but it was not the same for Seth Rollins. The Beastslayer slipped and hit his head on the ground. Interestingly, Rollins recovered and stood tall after the incident.

#3 AJ Lee was clobbered in the throat

AJ Lee had gigantic success in her career. The three-time Divas Champion did not have a lengthy career in WWE, but she certainly stood out from the rest. Due to her impressive mic skills and dexterity in the squared circle, AJ Lee was a fan favourite.

AJ Lee formed alliances with several Superstars during her tenure. Lee had on-screen relationships with a number of WWE Superstars, and Dolph Ziggler was one of them. Big E made his main roster debut as the bodyguard of Lee and Ziggler.

Big E was a force to reckon with as the trio dominated many matches. During an episode of Monday Night RAW, Big E was scheduled to have a singles match. While Big E was making his entrance along with Ziggler and Lee, the current New Day member swung his hands which accidentally hit the throat and chest of AJ Lee. The big man's giant forearms rocked the former Divas Champion, but the latter managed to stay in the character as she smiled and continued her walk to the ring.

#2 Undertaker's bike stalled

Undertaker is one of the greatest Superstars to grace WWE ring. Undertaker is currently a part-timer who wrestles occasionally. Though Undertaker skipped WrestleMania after nineteen years, he is set to fight in Saudi Arabia next month.

Considering the Phenom has been part of the company for three decades, he had several different gimmicks. The Undertaker's 'American Badass' gimmick was one of the notable gimmicks of the former WWE Champion. While portraying the character of American Badass, Undertaker used a bike for his entrance. He also had an attire of a biker. Undertaker faced a young John Cena at Vengeance pay-per-view in 2003. Undertaker came with a bike, but the motorcycle stalled in the middle of the entrance. However, the Phenom managed the situation smartly.

#1 Titus O'Neil's entrance at Greatest Royal Rumble

Greatest Royal Rumble was held in Saudi Arabia last year. The Undertaker, Triple H, John Cena, Brock Lesnar and many more headlined the show. The card had ten matches, and the 50-man Royal Rumble match was the main attraction of the show.

Though several legendary Superstars headlined the show, a hilarious botch became the highlight of the show. Titus O' Neil entered the Royal Rumble match at number 39, but he tripped before entering the squared circle. Titus slid under the ring, and he subsequently managed to crawl out. Braun Strowman eliminated Titus, but the latter stole the show. The company made a separate video of it and shared it on all social media platforms.
