10 Most Embarrassing Wrestling Botches Of 2018 (So Far)

1. Titus Worldslide (WWE Greatest Royal Rumble)

As soon as this list was conceived, there was only ever one real candidate for the top slot, and no matter what happens for the rest of the year, Titus O'Neil's Greatest Royal Rumble tumble won't be dethroned.

The former Prime Time Player charged down the ramp for his entrance into the night's titular bout. Unfortunately for him, he lost his footing at the bottom of the ramp, fell to the ground, and his momentum carried him halfway under the ring. A good job WWE hand't equipped that side of the squared circle with one of their LED boards, otherwise he'd have been knocked loopy.

It was an instant viral hit, with the gif flying around social media before the big fella had even gotten back to his feet, and the announcers were unable to contain their laughter either. Depressingly, it may actually go down as the most memorable moment of Titus' relatively uneventful WWE career when it's all said and done.

Both him and the company tried to make the most of it afterwards, with WWE going as far as releasing a commemorative t-shirt, though they stopped short of strapping O'Neil with a "guy who falls down a lot" gimmick.
