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

#3 WWE Superstar R-Truth utters the name of the wrong city

One of WWE's most beloved Superstars, R-Truth has always entertained the fans in his own unique ways. His comedic timing is second to none, and his adventures with the 24/7 title back in 2019 gave WWE millions of views on its social media handles. One of Truth's antics involved him coming down to the ring singing to the tune of his song and then finishing up with addressing the city that the show was held in. On an episode of WWE RAW, back in early 2011, Truth botched the line to a chorus of boos. Here's what Truth said:

"Green Bay, Wisconsin...WHAT'S UP?"

The problem? The show was in Milwaukee. Even before Truth could utter the words "What's up?", the fans in the arena showered him with loud boos. Eleven years later, R-Truth is still signed with WWE and is doing well for himself. He was voted the most popular Champion by the WWE Universe in a poll last year, outranking the likes of Becky Lynch and Kofi Kingston.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

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.
