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

#1 WWE legend The Undertaker messes up his lines while delivering a promo on Shawn Michaels

When one talks about the worst promo guys in WWE history, The Undertaker's name isn't anywhere near the top. In fact, he is regarded as one of the best mic-workers of all time. The Undertaker did have his moments though, where he stuttered and messed up his lines on WWE TV, on two separate occasions. Back in 2009, while in the ring with Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker referred to WrestleMania as Wrestletool.

Three years later, The Undertaker met Shawn Michaels again in the ring, as he was gearing up for his Hell in a Cell match against Triple H at WrestleMania 28. The Deadman thought that WrestleMania is slated for April 21st. In reality, The Show of Shows was set for April 1st. The Undertaker has been a WWE mainstay for around 30 years at this point. He has seen his fair share of highs and lows and has mostly been good to great on the mic. On these two nights though, he didn't seem to be his usual self.

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.
