WWE Survivor Series 2020: 5 Botches you probably missed 

There were several botches last night at Survivor Series
There were several botches last night at Survivor Series

The penultimate WWE pay-per-view of the year took over The Amway Center in Orlando, Florida last night on a night that saw The Undertaker bow out after three decades at the helm of WWE at Survivor Series.

It was also a night that saw Monday Night RAW come out on top in the battle for brand dominance at Survivor Series as The Miz, the men and women's teams, and Bobby Lashley all came out on top in their respective head-to-head matches.

Sasha Banks, Roman Reigns, and The Street Profits were able to pull back the deficit but in the end, it was the red brand that reigned supreme at this year's Survivor Series. Whilst this year's show is one that the WWE Universe will never forget, here are some of the more awkward moments that the WWE roster is hoping went unnoticed.


#5. The Gobbledy Gooker loses a foot at Survivor Series

Last night not only marked three decades since the debut of The Undertaker, but it also marked three decades since The Gobbledy Gooker finally hatched at Survivor Series back in 1990.

To mark the occasion, R-Truth invited the star back and even showed his historic debut, before the turkey was able to take advantage of a distraction and roll Truth up to become 24/7 Champion for the first time.

Whilst Gooker was running away, he managed to lose one of his feet and had to stop to pick it up and then hop the rest of the way. Later in the night, Akira Tozawa was able to trick the Gooker into stopping for birdseed so that he could pin him to become a seven-time Champion. Truth then won his title back from Tozawa by hitting him around the head with a bag of birdseed to become an impressive 45-time 24/7 Champion at Survivor Series.

#4. Booker T forgets what Survivor Series is all about

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T returned on the kickoff show for last night's pay-per-view and interestingly the former World Champion seemed to forget the way that Survivor Series works.

Booker was part of the kickoff panel and made several mistakes, which included his "Shucky Ducky Quack Quack" moment of the night where he talked about how he believed that Drew McIntyre could defeat Roman Reigns in the biggest match of the night.

Booker noted that he thought that McIntyre had a chance of walking out Champion, even though the match wasn't for any titles, it was Champion vs Champion.

Earlier in the night, Booker had also noted that he believed that Bobby Lashley would walk out as a dual Champion when his match against Sami Zayn only had bragging rights on the line.

Booker was correct, Bobby Lashley was able to completely dominate Sami Zayn throughout the match and walked out victorious, but Drew McIntyre wasn't able to defeat Roman Reigns in the Survivor Series main event.

#3. John Morrison's entrance is delayed at Survivor Series

This year's Survivor Series kickoff show included a dual-brand battle royal that was won by The Miz, who is continuing to build some momentum as Mr. Money in the Bank.

The Miz made his way to the ring alongside John Morrison for the match and as the two men came out to the ring, it appears that the production team forgot that Morrison's music also had to be played.

Morrison and Miz were already partway down the ramp when the music hit and after awkwardly looking at each other and deciding to do their usual entrance anyway, the two men went ahead.

Of course, this didn't affect either man since The Miz was able to have another heel victory when he rolled under the bottom rope and waited for Dominik Mysterio and Chad Gable to finish fighting it out. When Mysterio believed that he had secured the victory, Miz rolled back in the ring and threw the youngster over the top rope.

Ahead of Survivor Series, WWE failed to announce what the prize was for the winner of the battle royal.

#2. The women's elimination match is full of botches at Survivor Series

The women's elimination match was always going to be a huge talking point following Survivor Series since neither of the teams was able to co-exist. There were some noteworthy moments throughout, with Peyton Royce pinning former Women's Champion Bayley to eliminate her from the match first.

Lana was then the sole survivor of the match after Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler told her to remain on the step and not be part of the official matchup. Baszler was then disqualified and Bianca Belair was counted out along with Jax, which left Lana as the sole survivor at this year's Survivor Series.

There were some awkward moments throughout as well, since Baszler actually fully kicked Ruby Riott in the face at one point, before Peyton Royce and Natalya were then part of a strange exchange.

Natalya tried to lock in an interesting move on the Australian star but it appears that Royce didn't move her legs quick enough and this led to Nattie tripping. The women persevered and Royce was still eliminated, but it took the shine away from her earlier achievement.

#1. Shane McMahon forces Kane to break kayfabe at Survivor Series

Shane McMahon and Kane were just two of many legends who were part of The Undertaker's Final Farewell at Survivor Series last night. The likes of Mick Foley, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and even Vince McMahon all made an appearance, but there was only The Devil's Favourite Demon that turned up in gear.

The former World Champion made his entrance in full mask and attire and tried his best to remain in kayfabe throughout until Shane McMahon headed over and looked to shake hands with The Big Red Machine.

Interestingly, after all, being given their own entrance the legends then just disappeared from the ring. It was unclear why WWE invited all of the legends out to stand in the ring for a few seconds at Survivor Series and then exit in order for Vince McMahon to cut a promo.

Overall WWE gave The Deadman a fantastic send-off which also included a Paul Bearer hologram, but one of the things that the WWE Universe was talking about online was the altercation between Shane McMahon and Kane.
