It was quite a stacked week of wrestling again this week since WWE presented Hell in a Cell as well as RAW, NXT and SmackDown and AEW was live on TNT with Dynamite. Both companies opt to send out their product live, which brings with it a number of issues that both WWE and AEW have fallen foul to recently.
Hell in a Cell was an incredible show aside from the ending, which lead to many fans sharing their disappointment on Social Media. AEW took the opportunity to kick WWE whilst they were down and threw a number of shots at the company on Wednesday night before WWE themselves were able to respond with the start of their draft on Friday night.
It was a week of immense pressure for many wrestlers and it appears that this lead to a number of botches and mistakes.
#5 Kushida's issue with the ropes
NXT has become a live show on The USA Network over the past few weeks, which has allowed the company to extend the show to two hours and bring in NXT UK stars. These stars include the NXT UK Champion Walter, who has recently developed an issue with Kushida.
The two men put their undefeated records on the line this week when they went head to head but it was Walter who came out on top. The match was one of the stand out matches of the year, but it did see quite an interesting botch from Kushida when he springboarded onto the rope before slipping back into the ring.
Walter's quick thinking was able to save the botch, but it was evident that it wasn't what Kushida originally had in mind when he was kicked in the fact following the mistake.
#4 Luke Harper headbutts the table
Luke Harper returned to the ring at Hell in a Cell when he teamed with Erick Rowan to take on Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns. It was a match that had been building for a number of months, ever since Reigns was mysteriously attacked backstage on a number of occasions.
Following SummerSlam, Reigns hunted for his attacker and later found out that it was Erick Rowan that was behind it. The fact that Rowan had sunk to such lengths caused a rift between him and his teammate Daniel Bryan, which later lead to a confrontation.
Luke Harer returned to even the numbers at Clash of Champions before this match was later announced. As part of this match, Harper took a dive to the outside, where instead of catching him, Reigns pushed him upwards and he then headbutted the announce table on the way down.
Harper was later shown with a bruise on his head after the dive, which shows that there was definite contact between the former Champion and the announce table and Harper could have been more seriously injured by this shocking botch from Reigns.
#3 Braun Strowman forgets when Crown Jewel takes place
Braun Strowman was one of the stars in attendance for the press conference that WWE called ahead of Friday Night SmackDown. It quickly became clear that this conference was to announce the matches between Braun Strowman and Tyson Fury as well as Brock Lesnar vs Cain Velasquez at Crown Jewel.
Following the announcements from COO Triple H, all of the competitors were given the chance to speak their minds and build up their matches for the live cameras. Strowman seemingly took the chance to warm Tyson Fury about "getting these hands" on October 15th.
The biggest issue here is the fact that Crown Jewel is taking place on October 31st in Saudi Arabia. It appears that Strowman must have got his dates mixed up, which is understandable considering how many shows WWE has coming up and how much WWE has been on the road over the past few months.
Strowman wasn't part of SmackDown after he and Tyson Fury main evented Monday Night Raw this past week, but he will be part of SmackDown in the coming weeks since he was drafted to the Blue Brand on Friday night.
#2 Bayley destroys her buddies
Bayley lost the SmackDown Women's Championship to Charlotte Flair back at Hell in a Cell and this looks as though it could have been the turning point for Bayley, who returned to SmackDown on Friday night with a new look and a new attitude.
One of the main things that Bayley decided that she had to do was destroy the Bayley Buddies, who have been a huge part of her popular character over the past few years. Bayley took a pickaxe to the inflatable men and managed to deflate them all before she headed to the ring and defeated Charlotte to win back her Championship.
The only issue here was the fact that some of the Bayley Buddies were not ready to be destroyed so they took Bayley quite a while to get her message across, whilst the green tube man decided it was appropriate to fall on Bayley's head. The biggest positive here is probably from WWE's ring crew who no longer have to set up all the Bayley Buddies in the dark ahead of her matches since it appears that they are no longer needed.
#1 Tyson Fury doesn't even hit Cesaro
Tyson Fury was given an open mic on Monday night Raw so that he could respond to Braun Strowman in front of the crowd in attendance for the show. The Gypsy King obviously came to fight so it didn't come as much of a surprise when he and Strowman came to blows.
The entire finish to Raw showed that Fury hadn't been trained to throw gimmicked punches since he either hit the security team too hard or he didn't hit them at all. After the show, it seems that Fury's botches continued since he had a confrontation with former United States Champion Cesaro.
Cesaro was then "knocked out" by the heavyweight boxer, but as seen from the video below, when the footage is actually showed down it's quite clear that none of the punches actually go anywhere near The Swiss Superman.
Cesaro later went undrafted as part of the first day of the WWE Draft on Friday night which may or may not be linked to the fact that he was handed to Fury on Monday Night to make him look like a threat heading into his match with The Monster Among Men at Crown Jewel.
