WWE has been pushing its product forward for decades and in that time, the company has been forced to go through several changes. From the gritty and serious moments in The Attitude Era to the relatively lighthearted PG Era, there have been many hilarious scripted segments.
There were times when D-Generation X was sent out to entertain the crowd, or when 3MB were destroyed in the most comical ways. Whilst these moments have made many lists throughout WWE's history, the following list looks at the most unexpected moments that caught the WWE Universe's attention.
The following are just five unexpected mistakes, botches, and moments that became some of the most hilarious WWE moments.
#5. Nia Jax screams "My Hole" on WWE RAW
It's hard to miss the viral moment that occurred during last week's episode of Monday Night RAW. Nia Jax was in a Tables match against Lana when The Ravishing Russian dodged a leg drop on the apron. Jax was sent tailbone-first into the hardest part of the ring.
Jax screamed in pain before shouting, "My Hole!". Whilst that was the end of her night on RAW, it wasn't the last she would hear about the segment.
Over the past week, Jax's video where she screams "My Hole" has gone viral. Fellow WWE star Naomi even made it into a remix and shared it online with the WWE Universe.
Jax appeared alongside Shayna Baszler on the following episode of SmackDown as well. She was once again thrown tailbone-first into the apron by Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks. But this time, she learned her lesson and decided not to scream any comments that could go viral.
Things got worse for Jax earlier this week when even her own mother decided it was time to comment on the viral trend. Of course, Jax shut her down straight away, but it shows just how far the internet can take an unexpected outburst.
#4. Vince McMahon tears his quads after stomping his way down to the ring at the WWE Royal Rumble
WWE presents their annual Royal Rumble pay-per-view at the beginning of every year. But when it comes to hilarious and unexpected moments, there aren't many that can top the 2005 Royal Rumble match.
John Cena and Batista were the final two men that year and something went wrong when both men fell out of the ring at the same time. The fact that there was a live audience meant that WWE was forced to address the situation since they didn't want two winners like 1994.
The referees argued that they believed both men were winners before Vince McMahon angrily strutted down to the ring. In the process, he managed to tear both of his quads and couldn't stand up. This left the angry chairman sitting hunched over the ropes whilst shouting instructions at both Cena and Batista for the match to be restarted.
McMahon then had to be helped to the back since he was still unable to stand up on his own.
#3. R-Truth interrupts a promo that wasn't intended for him / R-Truth enters WWE's Royal Rumble match with a ladder
R-Truth is now a 49-time WWE 24/7 Champion after pushing the title forward on WWE TV since its inception. Before his 24/7 title shenanigans, the star was part of some fantastic segments that proved he really is a comedy genius.
Truth began by interrupting an episode of Miz TV ahead of Survivor Series back in 2015. It was unclear why Truth was there, to begin with. But the WWE stars in the ring looked confused since he wasn't even in the match.
The star himself then apologized and left after he was told he wasn't part of the WWE World Championship tournament. This led to several hilarious moments that included R-Truth, one of which even saw him enter the 2016 Royal Rumble match with a ladder. He looked to climb up the ladder to win a title, which of course wasn't possible in the Rumble.
The two aforementioned moments have one thing in common — R-Truth's onscreen character gets his wires crossed every now and then.
R-Truth continues to be one of the funniest WWE stars in the company at present. He was even able to get Brock Lesnar to break character on live TV at one point.
#2. Titus O'Neil stumbles at WWE's Greatest Royal Rumble
WWE traveled to Saudi Arabia for the first time back in 2018 and presented the biggest Royal Rumble match in the company's history.
The show was the first of a 10-year deal with the Kingdom of the Middle East. WWE has returned to Saudi Arabia several times with many different legends since then. Whilst there have been a few interesting moments in Saudi Arabia over the past three years, there aren't many that can top Titus O'Neil's botch.
The former Tag Team Champion was one of the many entrants in the Greatest Royal Rumble match. Before he could make it to the ring, he stumbled over his own feet on the ramp and slid under the apron. Titus was able to stand back up and enter the match after a few minutes, but the damage was already done.
The commentary team couldn't help but laugh as WWE replayed the moment on television. Titus O'Neil's greatest Royal Rumble moment is fondly remembered by WWE fans, even to this day.
#1. Adam Pearce calls WWE Champion Drew McIntyre — "Drew McInfart"
WWE Superstars are professionally trained performers, which means that they are trained on the mic as well as in the ring. Sometimes, they can trip over their words.
In the past, there have been some hilarious promo botches. In such instances, WWE stars are forced to backtrack, refocus, and move forward whilst being embarrassed.
There aren't many of these moments that come close to the one with WWE Official Adam Pearce. He managed to botch Drew McIntyre's name as part of a backstage segment on Monday Night RAW at the end of last year.
Pearce referred to the WWE Champion as Drew "McInfart". This forced him to then backtrack and try to cover up the error before he addressed the issue on his Twitter page.
As of this writing, it is still unclear as to whether or not this is a legitimate nickname for the WWE Champion backstage. Pearce may have accidentally said it in that regard, or the WWE Official could have had various other things on his mind at the time.
