Titus World-slide, baby.

WWE's (so-called) Greatest Royal Rumble from 2018 isn't remembered for the fondest reasons anyway. Braun Strowman winning a token belt meant nothing afterwards, and pretty much everything else that happened on the show has been lost to the sands of time. Well, almost everything.

Titus O'Neil's entrance during the bloated 50-man Rumble went down in history. The goofy, well-meaning babyface slipped whilst sprinting to the ring, and went for a tumble. Worse, he somehow managed to keep sliding all the way under the ring, and it's remarkable he didn't brain himself on a support beam en route.

The announcers couldn't keep it together. They even wondered aloud whether or not O'Neil would keep sliding all the way through to their table, which was rather funny. WWE turned the moment into a meme overnight, and Titus riffed on the botch on TV for a while afterwards.

He had to be mortified by the slip though.
