5 Botches You Probably Missed At WWE Evolution 

Evolution made history in more ways than one

The first ever all-women's pay-per-view, WWE Evolution, has finally made it to air and it was one of the biggest steps in the Women's Revolution. The women of WWE proved that they deserved the chance to make history when they lit up New York City.

Whilst the first ever Women's pay-per-view will go down in history, there were parts of the show that obviously many of the women would rather forget because every WWE pay-per-view is a live event and things always go wrong in front of the live audience.

Botches happen at every WWE event whether it's Raw, SmackDown or a pay-per-view so these women have nothing to be ashamed of since it was a fantastic night of entertainment and many of these women haven't been in the ring for more than a decade.


#5 Alicia Fox can't enter the ring

Alicia Fox subbed into the match against Trish Stratus and Lita when it was made obvious that Alexa Bliss wouldn't be able to compete after suffering a concussion at a live event a few days ago.

Fox wasn't the replacement that many of the WWE Universe expected and the former Divas Champion definitely showed that she wasn't fully prepared to compete when she was part of a number of botches.

One of the most obvious ones was when Fox was pulled into the match by Lita and she landed on the WWE Hall of Famer's ankle and forced her to fall over.

This wasn't the end for Fox either, since she was supposed to break up the pin between Mickie James and Trish Stratus after the Stratusfaction, and Mickie could audibly be seen shouting Fox to break up the pin but she was late and Stratus definitely got the three count, but the referee failed to count.

#4 Carmella's head scissors can't be reversed

The women's battle royal featured a number of WWE legends with many of them boasting multiple Women's Championship reigns. Obviously, the legends of the business were expected to have some ring rust but interestingly it wasn't any of the legends who missed a step.

Whilst Ivory struggled to get over the top rope, it was Carmella's headscissor spot on Ember Moon was the one that gained the most attention since The Princess of Staten Island went for the spot and it looked as though Moon was looking to reverse but she was unable to lift Carmella into position so she threw the former SmackDown Women's Champion onto the floor and just took a bump.

It was the most awkward spot of the match, but Carmella was eliminated not long afterwards before Ember Moon lasted until the final two women and was eliminated by Nia Jax.

#3 Sasha Banks doesn't do high risk

Sasha Banks teamed with Bayley and Natalya to take on The Riott Squad at WWE Evolution, but once again the talking point of the match which involved Banks is all about the botches.

The former Raw Women's Champion looked to be on fire before she attempted to jump to the outside of the ring onto the three members of The Riott Squad and seemingly bounced off the apron.

Banks was able to recover quickly and move on but her teammate Bayley wasn't as lucky since she delivered a shocking suicide dive as part of the closing stages of the match which then allowed Banks to deliver the frog splash for the win. It was obvious that Bayley landed awkwardly, but luckily she was able to get back up and celebrate the win with Sasha and Natalya.

#2 Zelina Vega's rough landing

Zelina Vega was part of the Women's Battle Royal and believed that she had the match won when she jumped back in the ring at the end of the match and attempted to eliminate both Nia Jax and Ember Moon.

Both women landed on the apron and Jax responded by lifting Vega into a bench press position and throwing her over the top rope. Interestingly, Tamina Snuka was the only woman on the outside who was able to catch Vega from the move and she was completely knocked out of the way but the impact of the move, so Vega was left to fall face first onto the floor.

The spot is hard to watch as it appears that both women walked away with much more than just memories from the first ever all-women's pay-per-view.

#1 Last Woman Standing

Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch made history at Evolution when they fought over the SmackDown Women's Championship in the first ever Last Woman Standing match on the main roster, but the match didn't come without its complications.

There was a spot mid-match that saw Charlotte attempt a moonsault through the table but once again the table failed to break much like Hell in a Cell back in 2016. Charlotte's reaction to this was to climb up once again and recreate the same spot which made it even more obvious that it was a botch.

Later in the match, Charlotte had Becky locked in The Figure 8 through a ladder and it appears that the chair that Becky needed to get out of the submission was too far away because the referee took it upon himself to kick the chair towards Lynch which made it obvious that he was helping her.
