In professional wrestling, mistakes are referred to as ‘botches.’ These mistakes can be a massive blow on live television. During the latest episode of Monday Night Raw, WWE found themselves in a spot thanks to a botch.
What was the colossal botch committed by Vince McMahon and the company?
WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Sasha Banks and Naomi squared off against Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan. Although this battle was for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship, WWE displayed the United States Championship graphics.
The WWE production team made a massive blunder on live television, but realized it quickly. They cut away and displayed the corrected augmented reality of the Women’s Tag Team Championship.
What happened in the Women’s Tag Team Championship match?
Naomi and The Legit Boss successfully defended the Women’s Tag Team Championship. During the last segment of this match, Banks and Naomi sent Liv Morgan out of the ring. Finally, The Boss and Trinity Fatu (Naomi) had the last laugh on Brutality and Morgan when they pinned ‘The Nightmare’.
