10 Terrible WWE Royal Rumbles With One INCREDIBLE Moment

6. Titus Worldslide (Greatest Royal Rumble)

It was an ugly night, the Greatest Royal Rumble.

WWE's debut event in Saudi Arabia saw the company kick off a filthy rich (and just downright filthy) decade-long deal, walking through the fires of Public Relations hell in the process. Thank goodness then for the silliest of things happening to one of the few wrestlers completely able to absorb it

It was 2018 when Titus O'Neil fell flat on his f*cking a*se (or on his face - the a*se was one of the last things to disappear under the ring), but over four years later and the gif of him stumbling instead of Rumbling gets funnier with every viewing.

Instructed to conduct a consulate-level dismembering of the moment, Michael Cole, having p*ssed himself for real like the rest of the world, was instructed to bury it with more vigour than he'd typically apply to something good. Corey Graves literally couldn't pull himself together to get through the next minute, and Vince McMahon, Kevin Dunn et al smashed the replay button so many times that the gears whirring in the production truck were louder than the ones in their heads concocting his new "falling over" gimmick.
