10 Wrestlers Who FORGOT What They Were Supposed To Do

The final four of the 2018 Men's Royal Rumble match were two established stars (John Cena and Roman Reigns) and two up-and-comers (Finn Bálor and Shinsuke Nakamura).

This symmetry perfectly captured the crossroads at which WWE found themselves at the time and had the fans excited to see if the future really could overcome the past. Unfortunately, the future made a costly error that almost threw the entire match off balance.

After a brawl between all four men, Bálor and Nakamura were sent to the mat, leaving Reigns and Cena staring each other down. And stare each other down they did, for a very very long time.

The former NXT Champions had forgotten that the planned spot was for them to jump Cena and Reigns during the stare-down. This led to a very awkward pause and Cena eventually yelling at both performers to get things back on track - and you could have heard his voice from outer space, it was so loud.

Bálor and Nakamura were clearly exhausted after the long match and this moment must have slipped their minds. Thankfully, you may not be able to see John Cena, but you can sure as hell hear him.
