Crown Jewel is now merely days away and after a controversial week for WWE, the company decided to kick off the show in style by welcoming back their Women's Division. Last week's episode failed to include the women as the build-up to Crown Jewel intensified, but given the backlash the company received, they decided to kick off the show with a full on heel turn from The Kabuki Warriors.

Given the recent actions of Jordan Myles, Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair were seemingly bumped up to the first hour as well, as the match this Thursday night at Crown Jewel was given its final build-up ahead of the show.

From start to finish, it was another stacked episode of Monday Night RAW, but there were some botches and mistakes fans may have missed.


#3. The bell rang before she even tapped

As noted above, the women kicked off the show last night, as Becky Lynch took on Kairi Sane. There were a number of awkward moments throughout the match, including one where Sane and Lynch stared at each other in the middle of the ring for a few seconds when it was made clear that someone forgot their spot.

The biggest botch in their encounter actually came in the closing stages of the bout when Lynch locked in her patented submission and Sane then tapped. It all looked acceptable from the hard cam feed, but when WWE played the replay from another angle, it was made clear that the referee had called for the bell when the move was locked in, which was before Sane actually tapped.

Could this be the way that Sane gets a rematch since the bell rang before the Women's Tag Team Champion actually submitted?

#2. The referee and cameraman take a tumble

Seth Rollins took on Erick Rowan in a Falls Count Anywhere Match last night on RAW, which was obviously a warm-up to his Falls Count Anywhere Match with The Fiend this coming Thursday. Rollins explained that Rowan had challenged him and he accepted since he was a former member of The Wyatt Family and could send a message to The Fiend just days before their highly anticipated rematch.

Rollins was booed throughout the match, but was undeterred and went on to pick up the win. This doesn't mean there weren't some shaky moments. One of the biggest came when Rollins dived off the announce table to land a crossbody on Rowan. It appears that the big man didn't have this one well scouted and landed in a pinning predicament.

The referee was on-hand to call the pin, but the cameraman had somehow ended up in their way and he then fell on the referee, who in turn fell on Rollins and Rowan. It's easy to imagine that Rollins and Rowan had no idea what was going on, but it made for some interesting viewing.

#1. Humberto overshot his moonsault

Humberto Carrillo is definitely being given a huge push on WWE TV ever since his move over from 205 Live. Carrillo was put up against Seth Rollins last week in a losing effort before he took on AJ Styes this week.

Carrillo was unable to see a way past the United States Champion, but unlike last week when his backstage promo was making all the headlines, Carrillo's in-ring ability was what the WWE Universe was most focused on.

Styles and Carrillo easily stole last night's show, but there was one moment where Carrillo overshot his moonsault. This often happens if an opponent is much closer than the star delivering the move believes he is, which leads to no contact at all.

Carrillo was smart about it and realized when he was in mid-air that he was going to go over Styles, so he threw out his arms and was able to make some contact, so that it looked like less of a botch, but fans likely still spotted this one.

Hopefully, Carrillo is able to steal the show for the third week in a row next week as well, but doesn't feature on the botch list.
