5 Most infamous botches in WWE Royal Rumble history

#2 The Rock's feet touch the floor (WWE Royal Rumble 2000)

The Rock's Royal Rumble victory was controversial.

The 2000 Royal Rumble Match was won by The Rock, who was the most popular WWE Superstar at the time. However, the manner in which he won was pretty controversial. The Rock and The Big Show both went over the top rope at the end of the match, with The Great One's feet touching the floor first.

It was for a solitary moment, but the botch did occur. However, WWE ignored it on the night as The Rock celebrated his Royal Rumble victory. It did get turned into a storyline, which saw Big Show claim that he was the actual winner of the match. His complaints were truly legitimate.

As a result, the giant Superstar defeated The Rock to be added to the main event of WrestleMania 2000. With Mick Foley being back in the fold as well, Triple H was forced to defend his WWE Championship in a four-way at the Show of Shows. And to spice things up, there was 'a McMahon in every corner'.

This might be the biggest botch in Royal Rumble history, which could have forced WWE's hand to crown The Big Show as the winner of the Rumble in 2000. However, there is one more moment more infamous than this.
