4 Botches You Probably Missed This Week On Raw (July 30th 2018)

It was another strange week on Monday Night Raw

SummerSlam is now just three weeks away and the card is starting to take shape, this week on Raw Ronda Rousey was able to make her return since her suspension was finally up. This meant that her feud with Alexa Bliss could pick up where it left off, whilst Brock Lesnar made his first WWE appearance since April when he was advertised to finally be face to face with his number one contender Roman Reigns.

The Biggest Party of The Summer is edging closer and when the pressure is on there is always room for mistakes to happen; add a live TV audience and you've got a recipe for disaster. Here are the botches that we picked up this week as part of WWE's flagship show.


#4 Baron Corbin and The Cameraman

Baron Corbin's signature move that involves him sliding out of the ring before crawling back in and delivering a thunderous clothesline has always been one of the more innovative moves that the former United States Champion has in his arsenal, but this week on Raw it became a problem in his match with former Universal Champion Finn Balor.

Corbin slid to the outside to avoid a strike from the Irish star, but as he slid out of the ring it appeared that The Constable of Monday Night Raw collided with the cameraman who was close to the ring post filming all of the action. It was only for a split second and Corbin was able to brace himself and the cameraman then moved over to the barricade, but someone will probably be having serious words later.

#3 Natalya vs Alicia Fox

Alexa Bliss confirmed that because of an injury to her best friend Mickie James, she was forced to handpick a replacement to take on Natalya tonight and Alicia Fox was her choice. In hindsight, Fox perhaps wasn't the best choice since she would have obvious signs of ring rust, but interestingly both Alicia and Natalya added to a number of botches and mistakes throughout their match.

There was a point where Alicia almost fell off the top rope before Natalya then seemingly tripped over the canvas and Fox decided she was in the wrong place in the ring so she ran around in a circle to make it to the corner. All in all, this wasn't a great advert for the Women's Division.

#2 Curtis Axel trips over his words

The B Team shocked the world back at Extreme Rules when they became the new Raw Tag Team Champions, but they have been able to ride this wave of luck over the past few months and are currently still undefeated on WWE TV as a team.

This week on Raw it was made obvious that The Revival are now part of the Raw Tag Team Championship picture, but ahead of their arrival in the ring, Axel tried to explain to Charley Caruso what went down last week when The B Team were attacked by Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy but he tripped over his words.

#1 Bayley's knee had a little too much momentum

Bayley and Sasha Banks showed off their new team name as "The Boss 'N' Hug Connection' this week on Raw in a match against Sarah Logan and Liv Morgan of The Riott Squad. The two women were able to maintain their friendship throughout the match and picked up the win after an innovative Bank Statement into the Bayley to Belly but the match still had its own fair share of mistakes.

The most obvious mistake was when Bayley delivered a knee to the side of Morgan's head and obviously took the momentum with her which caused her to fall onto the blonde star as she delivered the move. The two women then picked up the win, but as Bayley pinned Liv Michael Cole shouted kick out when there wasn't one. Liv wasn't even moving but Cole swore that he thought it was a kick out.

Bayley gives us a HUGE update on a top Superstar's upcoming return RIGHT HERE.
