Top 10 WWE Botches of this month (November 2018)

#8: Drew McIntyre & Ronda Rousey get distracted due to audible hecklers on two separate occasions (RAW, Nov. 12 & Nov. 26)

Audience hecklers can distract wrestlers several times

If there is one thing that can distract a professional wrestler from cutting an intense in-ring promo, it has to be audible hecklers sitting in the audience. While many pros in this industry manage to ignore these incidents, it is hard for newer talent to brush it off lightly without getting distracted.

For example, on the November 12th edition of RAW, Drew McIntyre started off with an intense promo after defeating Kurt Angle the week before. He was eventually interrupted by Finn Balor. However, what was supposed to be a menacing promo turned into a slightly embarrassing incident when a member in the audience decided to put Drew off his game by loudly yelling, "Your accent's fake!"

The taunt was clearly audible even through the television sets for viewers sitting at home. The Scottish Psychopath managed to cut a decent promo by quickly proceeding past this little incident.

However, on the 26th November edition of RAW, Ronda Rousey fell victim to several audience members taunting her following several mixed reactions since her match against Charlotte Flair at Survivor Series.

Ronda stumbled right at the very beginning because of an audible heckler yelling "You're not making any sense!" so loudly, that even Rousey looked towards the particular direction from where the sound emanated and went off-script by thanking the audience for their support soon after the heckling had stopped.

Unlike Drew McIntyre, Ronda could not brush past this incident swiftly, leading right into her & Nia having a few awkward exchanges around that incident on live TV.

#7: Braun Strowman got legitimately injured; to miss TLC? (Nov. 19)

The Monster Among Men to miss TLC?

Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley, and Drew McIntyre obliterated Braun Strowman on the November 19th edition of Monday Night RAW.

However, Strowman got legitimately injured and underwent surgery for the same. He could miss the TLC Pay-Per-View, according to Dave Meltzer's quotes on the following matter:

"Well, I guess the biggest news is that Braun Strowman is going to have elbow surgery so the deal tonight was a cover for that. He has bone spurs in the elbow that they ‘destroyed’ was the one that he has bone spurs in.”

“It’s not a bad deal, obviously his elbow was not shattered. It’s touch and go whether he’ll be in San Jose for the match with Baron Corbin, the TLC match they announced. I guess it depends on the seriousness of the surgery.”

“The belief is he’s fine for the Royal Rumble with Brock Lesnar which they also announced surprisingly announced that match tonight. So that is the plan. So that’s the deal of what’s going on with Strowman, why they did what they did.”
