The new year is finally here, which means that WWE can close the door on 2018 and everything that came along with it. Whilst the company worked hard to make some of the most memorable moments over the past 12 months, there are some that have remained memorable for all the wrong reasons.
Brie Bella and Nia Jax have had a shocking year when it comes to botches, whilst Titus O'Neil was actually able to cash in on one of the biggest botches of the year by creating and selling merchandise based on his accident at The Greatest Royal Rumble.
There are a huge number of memorable botches from 2018, but here is a list of just five that many of the WWE Universe will look back on and remember fondly.
#5 The Undertaker and John Cena at WrestleMania 34
The Undertaker and John Cena finally collided at WrestleMania 34 last year after months of uncertainty but no one expected two of the biggest stars in the company to have such a huge botch in their WrestleMania match.
It appears that The Deadman was going for the Big Boot when John Cena reacted before it actually hit and when he bumped the move he was actually miles away from the target. This isn't a usual thing for Cena, but as Taker's career has pushed on over the past few years, there have been more botches in his matches, something that was highlighted last year when there was a major botch in his WrestleMania main event match against Roman Reigns.
Here is the botch for the ones of us who don't remember it from all the way back in April.
#4 Jeff Hardy's Twist of Fate
It's been a rough year for The Hardy Boyz, not only was Matt Hardy sidelined due to an unforeseen injury that forced his pelvis to merge with his spine back in the summer, but Jeff has also had his own issues with injury.
There have been retirement rumors circulating above both stars over the past few months, but Jeff Hardy has remained an integral part of SmackDown Live throughout the year despite dealing with a number of knocks and this could be the reason that this move went undetected.
Hardy looked to deliver the Twist of Fate to Eric Young back in June, but as Michael Cole stated, he didn't manage to get all of it and Young was then forced to bump after the move was over and it looked somewhat delayed and a little awkward.
#3 Titus O'Neil forgets how to enter the ring
The Greatest Royal Rumble even back in April 2018 made history for WWE as the company travelled to Saudi Arabia and presented the largest rumble match in their history, but the show itself was definitely the most memorable for all of its botches.
Jeff Hardy was seen in his match against Jinder Mahal delivering a shocking Whisper in the Wind, whilst the Rumble itself saw a number of awkward moments throughout from the likes of Big Cass, Bobby Lashley and most memorably, Titus O'Neil.
Titus O'Neil didn't even have to enter the ring to be part of one of the biggest botches of the show, O'Neil fell on his way down the ramp and then slid under the ring before he was able to find his feet and officially enter the match. Luckily, the former Tag Team Champion was able to cash in on some merchandise sales afterwards, which is a small consolation.
#2 Nia Jax knocks out Becky Lynch
Nia Jax has had quite a rough year, but this came to a head back in November when she was part of the SmackDown invasion of Monday Night Raw the week before Survivor Series. Becky Lynch headed to Monday Night to make a statement ahead of her match against Ronda Rousey at Survivor Series, but Lynch left with a concussion and a nasal fracture at the hands of Nia Jax.
It was the former Women's Champion who delivered the blow that knocked Lynch out and then cost her the match against Rousey at Survivor Series, but whilst the two women now look on course to main event WrestleMania, many of the WWE Universe refuse to forgive Jax for the part she played in forcing WWE to reshuffle one of the biggest shows of the year.
#1 Brie Bella knocks out Liv Morgan
Brie Bella has had a shocking year when it comes to botches, the former Divas Champion was able to botch two moves on the same show as part of her return to Raw back in the summer, before she then walked into a feud against The Riott Squad.
Bella wasn't watching as she delivered her husband's patented Yes Kicks to Liv Morgan in the match and two of them struck the young star straight in the face and knocked her out cold. Morgan was then forced to tag out of the match and it was later revealed that she had suffered a concussion and her availability for Super Show-Down was up in the air.
Luckily, Liv Morgan was able to recover and has since gone from strength to strength in the ring, so it appears that whilst this was one of the worst botches of the year, Morgan has managed to turn it into a positive.
