5 Times WWE Superstars botched their promos: The Undertaker forgets major detail, Roman Reigns fumbles lines

#4 Goldberg makes a botch in his WWE RAW promo

Back in 2016-17, when Goldberg was mere days away from appearing in the 2017 Royal Rumble match, he delivered a scathing promo on WWE RAW. The former World Champion made a botch right away, even before he entered the ring. As was the tradition with him, Goldberg headbutted the door of his room during his entrance and ended up getting busted open. It looked like the bump knocked his senses down a bit, as he fumbled his lines during the promo.

Goldberg took it all in as fans were collectively reacting to his presence in the ring, and was hying up the crowd like only he is capable of. While going so, Goldberg tried to pump up the crowd and uttered these lines, "Yay! Let's go for the third time!" and gloriously botched the same. Check out Goldberg's botch here. At the Royal Rumble, Goldberg eliminated Brock Lesnar but was eventually thrown down by The Undertaker. Goldberg would go on to win the WWE Universal title from Kevin Owens and lose the belt to Lesnar at WrestleMania.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
